PHOENIX, ARIZ. (Feb. 13, 2025) – Modern Business Development is pleased to announce the latest addition to the team, continuing its strategic growth with the hiring of a Tucson Director of Business Development.
“We are excited to extend our reach and help clients in this thriving region, and my hometown,” said Modern Business Development CEO Cassie Wells in announcing the hiring of Maggie Lopez.
Wells, a commercial real estate industry leader and business development expert, launched woman- and minority-owned Modern Business Development in 2022. MBD represents the niche market of subcontractors and service providers in Metro Phoenix who require business development services.
As Tucson Director of Business Development, Lopez will represent commercial subcontractors and service providers to increase their sales and industry presence through strategic business development practices and authentic community relationships.
Lopez joins Modern Business Development after serving as development coordinator for a 501c3 nonprofit where she implemented and managed the marketing and donor development programs.
In 2023, Lopez started a strategic marketing firm, Maggie Ann Co., to help small businesses identify their unique value proposition, target audience, and most effective messaging and channels of communication.
“One of my favorite things about working for Modern Business Development is that two of its values are: ‘we give back,’ and ‘we put people first,’” Lopez said. “In addition to working with wonderful people at the strategic marketing firm I founded, I appreciated the blend of relationship building, strategy, data, and creativity the role required. I love any chance I get to increase that bottom line.”
Born and raised in Tucson, Lopez earned a BS in marketing from the University of Arizona Eller College of Management.
Away from the office, Lopez enjoys spending time with her two sons, going on short road trips, camping, off-roading, and spending time at the lake and the beach.
