Maggie Louise Callahan is the Founder, CEO and Creative Director of Maggie Louise Confections. Originally from Indiana, Callahan attended Virginia Tech undergraduate and Harvard Law School. She then went on to pursue a career in law working at a prestigious firm in New York City and later as one of the first team members at a San Francisco-based startup operating in the field of venture capital. While Maggie's career was thriving in law, she felt a creative void in her life and was looking for a new path that would allow her to not only flex her entrepreneurial muscle but also build a brand that marries her love of design and culture with her passion for entertaining.
After attending Le Cordon Bleu, Maggie recognized a void in the marketplace for chocolates that were just as decadently designed as they are delicious, and founded Maggie Louise Confections in 2013. In 2014, the young company’s products were selected to appear on Oprah's Favorite Things list, and their products have been on the Today Show and have been featured in Food+Wine, Vogue and other publications. Their corporate clients include L’Oreal Paris, Jimmy Choo, Lexus, Virgin Airlines and John Frieda.
