SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /California Newswire/ — The Glancy Wine Education Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of a new board member, Maggie Heile, joining this month as co-chair of fundraising. Bringing 30 years of business and wine experience to her role, Maggie has an impressive entrepreneurial and corporate resume, and is an interdisciplinary leader who has helped brands and organizations achieve high standards of excellence and success. With diverse experience as brand manager, marketing director, and general manager she has worked with household names such as Costco, Target, Walmart, and Eukanuba, driving sales and innovation as well as consumer loyalty.
