Mirena Bagur
Mirena Bagur founded
CONTeXO Consulting
in 2005. During more than 17 years of marketing and communications experience, Mirena counseled various technology-inspired companies.
Prior to this, Mirena was a senior vice president at Weber Shandwick, a leading global communications agency. She joined the agency in 1991 and collaborated with emerging and enterprise companies to conceive and execute strategic marketing and PR programs that heightened corporate and product profiles in mainstream and vertical markets. Mirena’s capabilities to grasp not only clients’ brand issues, but also understand the challenges associated with educating the influencers on the adoption of complex concepts and technologies in business environments, translated into leading roles in numerous technology and healthcare accounts. She led teams that thoughtfully coordinated marketing programs with strategic partners -- from vendors such as Sun and Microsoft, to industry standards bodies, such as the Object Management Group. She also led communications campaigns for industry analyst firms including Giga Information Group (now part of Forrester Research), ITSMA (IT Services and Marketing Association), and IDC’s Financial Insights. Mirena was chosen to lead national-level initiatives designed to elevate Weber Shandwick’s brand and to increase visibility in new markets (start-ups and healthcare businesses, boomers’ market) resulting in numerous referrals and revenue increase of $2.5M annually.
Prior to Weber Shandwick, Mirena worked at T-Catalyst, a public affairs agency and Nathan Tyler Productions, a producer of business videos including “in Search of Excellence.” Prior to that Mirena founded a branch of the American Institute for Foreign Studies, the "Camp America" student exchange program in former Yugoslavia when she developed and implemented business and marketing plans, and procured approval of the program by government.
Mirena holds a bachelor’s degree in international trade and marketing from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and has completed a strategic business leadership program at Columbia University.
