Valentzas has been with Mastercard for over 11 years where she has held various roles in consumer and B2B marketing and as a product architect, where she helped deliver solutions to meet the unique needs of co-brand partners.

Before Mastercard, she managed marketing for De Beers, overseeing the iconic “A Diamond is Forever” campaign. Valentzas holds a master’s degree from the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University, and is on the advisory council to the Marketing Department of the Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University, her alma mater.
