JC&A’s Maureen Rystrom was recently featured on Candy O’Terry’s The Story Behind Her Success, where she shared her journey leading in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
“In the beginning, I was usually the only woman in the room. That was great, because it was memorable—and it was also bad, because it was memorable.”
As Partner & Vice President of Marketing at J. Calnan & Associates, Maureen brings a thoughtful, purpose-driven approach to branding and communications. Her focus isn’t just on what we build, but how we build—highlighting the positive impact JC&A and our partners make in the communities where we work.
In the interview, Maureen also credits the JC&A team as the reason we continue to be recognized as a Top Place to Work, and shares her gratitude for the opportunities the firm has provided her to grow, lead, and make an impact.
By rolling up her sleeves, putting in the hard work, and showing up consistently, Maureen has built a career grounded in respect and appreciation for the people and opportunities around her. Beyond JC&A, she is a committed supporter of meaningful professional connection as a co-founder of the Professional Ladies’ Association.
