Mariposa is among the Top 100 woman led businesses in Massachusetts, ranking 64th in the state based on gross annual income. This is the third year in a row that the high-end wholesale distributor of gift and tableware has made the Top 100 list.
“It is a thrill to know that so many women are running successful businesses in Massachusetts, and to be among them is an absolute honor. My thanks to my staff and all of our artists whose hard work has brought us this success,” said Livia Cowan, founder.
The company has created an aspirational brand, captivating the educated young bride, wealthy baby boomer, and worldly elder consumer. High quality and design standards, superior customer service and a commitment to seasonal innovation result in a loyal wholesale customer base of more than 2,000 specialty stores across the country.
Mariposa’s products are marketed through a network of sales representatives in the major markets of New York, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, where trade shows are held twice annually. The flagship corporate showroom is located in the Gift Mart in Atlanta.
This is the fifth study conducted by The Center for Women’s Leadership at Babson College and The Commonwealth Institute on woman-led businesses in Massachusetts. Qualified participant companies have a woman chief executive who is the senior executive decision maker of the firm, are headquartered in Massachusetts, and are either independent businesses or legal subsidiaries of larger corporations. Medical, law and banking firms as well as non-profits were not included in the study. The full research report, including the Top 100 list, is available from Babson’s Center for Women’s Leadership and can be downloaded at www3.babson.edu/cwl/research/top-woman-led-businesses-in-massachusetts.cfm.
