About Marie Della Thomas - Short Bio

Professor Marie Della Thomas's journey in Advertising Publishing began over 30 years ago, working for Fortune 500 and 100 corporations. In 2009, Thomas embarked on a new chapter, demonstrating her entrepreneurial spirit by launching her own business, Marie Della Thomas and Associates, to assist publishing houses in New York City. Disney Publishing Worldwide, her first client, uses her experience as an expert accounting coordinator in advertising management, supervising the billing operations for magazine titles and supporting Disney's global sales staff.

Marie returned to her former employer, Disney Publishing Worldwide, Inc., as a Consultant. In this role, she was responsible for handling the Advertising billing for all four publications: Disney Magazine, Wonder Time, Family Fun, and Disney Adventures Magazine. Her work involved performing an evaluation and making recommendations to create a more efficient billing cycle and manage advertising coordinators, which significantly improved the company's operations. In earlier years, Times Mirror Magazines marked the start of Marie's career in publishing. Marie enjoyed working for a decade with TMM. Thomas has been given several awards throughout her career as a businesswoman who empowers others and for her love of volunteering and giving back to the community.

More recently, Professor Thomas found great fulfillment in teaching at Baruch College, where she earned a BA and MA in Corporate Communications. As a full-time faculty Lecturer and Communication Specialist, Marie imparts her knowledge in Business Communication Courses and Professional Speech Communication. She feels deeply honored to share her life experiences in Corporate America as a businesswoman, inspiring students to learn business strategies and pursue their goals. Marie's ultimate goal is to equip students with the necessary skills and tools to ensure they have a bright future in business.
