Mary Fastenau
Retired Marketing Executive
Current Community Volunteer

Mary knows time flies when she realizes she has spent 36 years in the Hawaii marketing, advertising, and digital world. After retiring as a Senior Partner at Anthology/Finn Partners in June 2024, she has a whole new perspective on life and a long list of things she wishes she knew earlier in her career. 

She is still learning and growing, but now it happens while visiting nursing homes with her therapy dog Ruby, helping set up curriculum for the amazing women who participate in the YWCA’s Patsy Mink Center for Business and Leadership, or strategic planning for Hawaii Public Radio. Maybe those years of experience made her a little wiser.     
 
Mary is fortunate to be recognized with a Silver Medal for Lifetime Achievement by the Hawaii Chapter of the American Advertising Federation, inducted into Shidler College of Business Hall of Honor, and received the American Marketing Association Hawaii Chapter’s Lifetime Achievement Award.  

She graduated from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and earned her Executive Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business.
