About Maria Sinopoli Spain

I’m a strategic marketing and communications leader driven by work that strengthens communities and advances missions rooted in education, nutrition, and food security. Over the course of my career, I’ve partnered with nonprofit, media, healthcare, and education organizations to translate purpose into clear strategy, compelling storytelling, and measurable impact. I bring a strong ROI mindset to mission-driven work — aligning communications, partnerships, and engagement efforts so they support real organizational goals. Most recently, I’ve led communications strategy for a nonprofit addressing food insecurity, elevating brand visibility, strengthening donor and community engagement, and supporting development initiatives. Earlier in my career, I held senior leadership roles at organizations including Scholastic and Nickelodeon where I guided cross-functional teams, managed complex stakeholder environments, and launched high-impact campaigns at scale. Through my consulting practice, My Purposeful Strategy, I also advise organizations and leadership teams on how to clarify their message, engage audiences more meaningfully, and build communications strategies that support long-term growth. I thrive in collaborative environments where thoughtful leadership and mission alignment matter.
