PaigeMcGrath 32, Superior

What do you do? (job, community involvement): Director of IT project management at Maurices.

What is important to you? With having two little kids at home, my family is most important to me. Ensuring they feel supported, loved and having fun with them. I want to make sure I have a balance between work and life so I don’t miss out on their life. Maurices is very encouraging of a work-life balance, so it makes it so easy to do so!

How do you spend your free time? My free time is spent with my family. I enjoy playing with my kids outside; going to the beach; playing in a pool in our backyard; going for walks/bike rides; going to the park; or playing sports in our yard (my son is into anything and everything)! I also enjoy hanging out with our friends, going on summer family vacations and traveling, which typically includes warm weather and sandy beaches!

From nominator: “Paige is a wellrespected leader in an industry (IT) that has a history of being male-dominated. She is an exceptional leader in the project management space and instills confidence with her global business partners through her ability to build strong relationships and drive value to our customers. And did I mention, most of this has been accomplished during a global pandemic?”
