Maria Wu Kiskis

At Virgin Unite, I am focused on incubating our global leadership initiatives, building income-generating opportunities, and overseeing our project investments.

Some of my best (or perhaps worst!) qualities are an unrelenting curiosity about all things, a predisposition to think analytically, a laser focus for finding solutions to whatever task is at hand, and a lifelong passion to give back to my community. My hope is to use these qualities so that I can to affect change at a greater level and bring about positive change in our world.

What first sparked my interest in Virgin Unite was the mission of the foundation to tackle real and complex challenges facing our global community and drive business to be a force for good. One could say that was my “You had me at hello” moment. But seriously, these weren’t the sole reasons I joined the team. I ultimately joined because it quickly became clear that a culture exists within the team that is fun and also strives for excellence in tackling those tough challenges with an entrepreneurial and community focus. It is this unique combination that will make us successful and the reason I am unbelievably excited to be here.
