My name is Marie, owner of Ciao Dallas. I’ve worked for major global travel and lifestyle brands including Tripadvisor, Food Network and HGTV. As a digital media executive, I bring 20+ years of expertise developing audiences and content leading to millions of dollars in company value generated. Today I’m focused on helping organizations reach, build and retain audiences — all on a very personal level. My goal is to translate my corporate world know-how to small businesses and nonprofits, empowering them to succeed through scalable, sustainable solutions. Ciao Dallas reflects my love of travel, the welcoming feel of the Texas community in which I live and the warmth I’ve encountered which each and every visit to Italy. It is also a platform to highlight the people and places that make our city of Dallas so exciting and unique.
