Mary Aikoriegie

212NYC Rising Star

Director of Global Sales and Partnerships at GZERO Media (Eurasia Group)

Mary Aikoriegie is a force in integrated media, sales strategy, and global partnerships. She is known for turning bold ideas into commercial success. Currently, as Director of Global Sales and Partnerships at GZERO Media (Eurasia Group), she drives business development for one of the world’s most respected political news platforms, building partnerships with brands aligned with non-partisan media.

Her approach blends sharp market insights with strategic creativity, honed over a dynamic career spanning agencies, publishers, and global media brands. She’s led initiatives for clients like Gilead Sciences, Microsoft, TikTok, and Reuters, and contributed to public sector campaigns for the Taiwanese government. Her work leads with purpose and consistently delivers measurable impact.

She began her journey volunteering on the grassroots team for the Obama Foundation, where the urgency of mission-driven storytelling first captured her imagination. That spark led her to explore radio and, eventually, into high-impact roles providing solutions for advertising, publishing, and integrated marketing strategies.

Just as committed to community as she is to business, Mary volunteers with Reading Partners America to support young learners and recently joined a kickball league with fellow professionals—reflecting her lifelong love of sports and collaboration. She draws strength from her faith and is a proud plant momma!

Her vision? A media industry that’s smarter, more inclusive, and infinitely more effective—driven by people who know how to move both culture and markets.
