Additionally, she is a partner in Bain's Healthcare practice, where she advises clients on creating growth strategies, identifying M&A opportunities and leading geographic expansion efforts across a range of healthcare sectors, including hospitals, pharmaceuticals, biotech and medical device companies.

Her previous experience also includes the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a Radiology Fellow and Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar, as well as Harvard Medical School where she was a Radiology Resident. Maria completed her BA at Harvard University, before achieving her MD at Tufts University School of Medicine, and an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

John Kerr, Chariman of Kin + Carta, said:

"Maria's extensive business experience which includes executive leadership at Bain, coupled with her academic and clinical background in medicine makes her a unique and rare executive, with a diverse perspective on how to scale and enhance businesses across the globe. Her appointment comes as Kin + Carta continues to seek B Corp Certification for the whole business, following the certification for the Americas division achieved in January and Europe achieved in September. We are delighted to welcome Maria to the Kin + Carta Board and I look forward to working closely with her."

"I am very excited to be joining the Kin + Carta board as a Non-Executive Director. I believe that digital transformation is critical to remaining competitive in today's world. That is why I'm eager to support Kin + Carta on its continued growth aspirations, helping companies across sectors embark on their digital transformation journeys.
