In 2018, she published her book <a href="https://www.workparty.com/book" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">WorkParty</a>, filled with advice for female entrepreneurs looking to ‘Create & Cultivate’ thriving companies and careers. She recently launched MAIE Wines, the first single-serve wine bottle, as well as her venture fund, New Money Ventures.</p>
