About Mary Hayes

I thrive on transforming chaos into seamless order. Whether it’s building a spreadsheet masterpiece for fun, streamlining business workflows, or orchestrating complex projects. With a passion for connecting people, I build partnerships not just to drive business forward but to create genuine, lasting human connections.My career journey has taken me from the creativity of video editing, through 13 vibrant years in hospitality and event management, and into the dynamic world of market research, where I’ve worn many hats: facility manager, project manager, marketing specialist, and strategic partnerships executive. Each role honed my ability to balance people, process, and performance. Now, as a Product Insights Director, I draw on this diverse foundation to translate complex data into meaningful stories, guiding product decisions and fueling business growth. Along the way, I’ve mastered the art of multitasking, sharpened my time management, and discovered how to design processes that let teams breathe easier, work smarter, and achieve more.Outside the office, you’ll find me training on aerial silks (because balance and strength aren’t just for market research) or singing my heart out, because harmony matters both on and off the stage. I bring that same creative energy, discipline, and enthusiasm to every team I join, every project I touch, and every challenge I tackle.
