Maria Brito Leadership Series Program

Like the world’s best artists, teams, organizations and brands can successfully reinvent themselves and turn change into a positive force for innovation. From the intersection of business and art, Maria Brito paints a compelling picture for leaders, showing them how to harness the forces of creativity and imagination inside their organizations to cultivate a consistent, renewable stream of ideas that produce remarkable results — no special artistic skills required.

Thriving and having staying power amid today’s extreme business uncertainty takes a whole new level of business creativity. Drawing from her work with some of the world’s foremost artists as an internationally noted art advisory, along with her deep business experience as a former corporate attorney, Brito connects the two worlds to deliver unique, actionable insights about how organizations can use creativity to build a sustained competitive advantage, even in the most volatile of business environments.

Brito knows the business of change, having successfully pivoted from a standout career in corporate law to develop a globally renowned art advisory, where she has worked with Chinese activist Ai Weiwei, street sensation Banksy and others, and now, to a consulting role, advising hip-hop moguls, Oscar®-winning actors, Tony®-winning producers, Fortune 500 CEOs and many others on business creativity and change. A proud Latina, Venezuelan immigrant and Harvard graduate, she has been featured in The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Vogue, Time, The Economist and CNN, among many others. She shares her inspiration and advice weekly with 175,000 social media followers and via her newsletter and blog, The Groove.
