Denise Arnoff-Brown

Denise Aranoff-Brown is the first featured member of the new Wharton Club of Maryland!  In addition to her involvement in this new club, she is an active member of the Wharton Club of Washington DC.
 
Denise graduated with a Wharton MBA in 1992, which doesn’t feel to her as long ago as it looks.  She moved to Maryland in 1998, after a 7 year stint in various marketing roles at American Express in New York City.  After 9 years as a marketing and sales executive at Chevy Chase Bank, she read the writing on the wall and exited the banking industry.  In January 2008, she began the next phase of her marketing career, as head of marketing and sales for the National Aquarium, which has venues in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and in downtown Washington DC.  For Denise, successful marketing is all about building lasting relationships.  In her Aquarium position, she is working to improve the ways that the Aquarium reaches its visitors through on-site, website and partnership relationships that MAKE SENSE.

Through the Wharton Club of DC, Denise, with fellow Wharton grad, Tina Wallace, founded a Women’s Interest Group for informal networking (called W-I-G), which now has over 150 women involved and is open to non DC-club members and non-Whartonites!

When not communing with the fishies, Denise lives in Gaithersburg, MD, with her husband, Chris, her 2 sons, Jeffrey (age 9) and Andrew (age 6) and her overzealous yellow lab, Sandy.  She often contemplates their collection of award-winning California wines and looks forward to the day she can drink more than one glass of wine without falling asleep.
