About Maggie Sokolov

I build innovative monetization programs that consistently exceed goals and lead data-focused teams that get to the root of business and customer challenges; and create effective solutions that drive revenue and scalability. My tenacious, collaborative and research-based approach focuses on rigorous prioritization and establishes a vibrant picture of an organizational mission to ensure that every subsequent decision is aligned to the long-term strategy.EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP IN SAAS, FINTECH & PAYMENTSI bring more than 15 years in executive leadership and business development roles within SaaS, fintech and payments across global enterprises, small businesses, and startups. This includes seven years at American Express, where I led customer-facing teams that oversaw retention and drove growth of the company’s multi-billion-dollar Merchant Business in Northern California. I went on to expand small business lending efforts for Wells Fargo at Equifax, and later develop my own consulting and advisory services practice where I worked with clients to develop and implement growth strategies. In the past several years I\'ve been creating value for DevonWay, an EHS & S software scaleup, by building mutually beneficial collaborative B2B ecosystem partnerships from the ground up. EARLIER IN MY CAREERBefore my transition into the finance sector, I served as Director of Corporate Business Development at ON Semiconductor (a spin-off from Motorola), where I identified M&A and Strategic Alliance opportunities and led due diligence teams.GLOBAL-DRIVEN LEADERSHIPA global mindset is woven into the DNA of my approach as a leader. Throughout my career, I have traveled to and done business in more than 25 countries (and lived in three countries). I have earned my MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management, known for its international business training. These experiences have influenced the way I connect with customers, business partners and teammates. ADVANCING THE INDUSTRYI am committed to exploring diverse cultures, sharing, and giving back to the community, and integrating these passions into my everyday life. This is what led me to join NAEM and my role with WNET, where I served as VP, Business Development and Corporate Relations. I work with corporations across the industry to build collaborative programs that provide critical tools and resources to help professionals advance and lead, including DEI programming.
