Maria Cruz, Professional Organizer, has served over 30 clients in more than 15 different industries, specializing in strategy development, project management and marketing for small to mid-size businesses. Some of her well-known clients include Empire Relocation Services, Inc., Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., American Buying Retirement Services, Page Net, Inc., and Sprint. In 1995 Maria started her own marketing firm, Maria Cruz and Associates (MCA). By 1997, Maria was chosen as the “Woman of the Month” and featured in the December issue of the Women’s Business Journal. In 1998 Maria was awarded the Top 25 Award from the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce for MCA’s achievements in growth and productivity. MCA was also chosen and profiled by the Orlando Business Journal in their 1999 Business Survival Guide publication. Over time Maria began to receive more requests asking her to clean up ailing operations, find creative ways to stretch the budgets of under funded non profit organizations, and help start-ups with more imagination than capital. It was at this point that she decided to close MCA and refocus career as a Professional Organizer. It is Maria's belief that the same techniques used to make corporate America lean and more cost-effective can be successfully applied to home and small office situations. In this capacity, Maria brings previously unavailable and proprietary management techniques to the average person.
