Marisa Thalberg

Marisa Thalberg-Marisa Thalberg, the Founder and President of Executive Moms, is the true embodiment of an executive mom herself. A full-time successful advertising and marketing executive, Marisa has also developed a second full-time career as the head of the nation’s preeminent organization for women who are both mothers and professionals (and then, of course, there is the one additional full-time career, of being a mother: to her daughters Hannah and Avery). For her work with Executive Moms, Marisa has become a sought-after voice to the media on issues on motherhood, careers and busy women’s lifestyles. She has been extensively quoted in newspapers around the country from the Wall Street Journal to the Sacramento Bee, has appeared on numerous radio and TV stations including NBC, FOX, and has been a spokesperson for companies ranging from Capital One to Time/Life Books. Last year, Marisa was named a 2005 Pearl Honoree and will soon be profiled on UNICEF.com . Marisa is also a writer and is a featured essayist in the book, This Day: Diaries from American Women.
