Marisa B. Lister

“Marisa is a rock star. Her tireless performance is exceptional, and we cannot imagine accomplishing this without her.”

As the Director Marketing, Mari utilizes her many years of experience to mentor the other team members regarding the Bigelow brand, our differentiation, and the white-glove experience we provide to our EOM clients. Mari’s passion and 15+ years of working with EOMs makes her uniquely suited for curating the messaging, content, and digital design of all Bigelow materials. At Bigelow, our desire is to freely share our experiences–our thought leadership–essentially, what we believe. She manages the marketing process from research and planning to execution and analysis. Mari develops and executes the Firm’s education outreach, and outward-facing events, including our annual Bigelow Forum and our annual Bigelow Connectors event.

She received her Bachelor of Arts cum laude in International Relations and Economics from Tufts University.

• What is your greatest fear?

  Heights.

• Who is someone you admire? Why?

  My mother for her grace and humor even during her darkest of times. Also, for her ability to figure out both being my best friend and parent without ever really blurring the lines.

• The talent I would most like to have is…?

  The ability to sing. In my head, I swear I can belt it out like Adele but very sadly that is not the case I am told.

• If you wrote a book, what would it be about?

  My family's exile from Cuba because of the Castro regime and the legacy and life my grandfather was able to create for all of us (and so many others) in the face of such adversity.
