Career
Early career and background
Maged obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science at Columbia College, New York. In 1990, Maged joined NBA Entertainment as a Broadcast Assistant, rising to become Programming Manager, before she left the NBA in 1995. She was mentioned in the Official NBA Guide of 1992 as a "Broadcast Associate" for NBA, but in The Sporting News Official NBA Guide 1994-95 she was documented as a "Programming Coordinator" for NBA, working with a team which included Gregg Winik, Stephanie Schwartz, and Charles L. Rosenzweig. Adam Silver, Deputy Commissioner for the NBA said of Maged: "She impressed me from day one with her strong work ethic, intelligence and ability to always make work fun; a wicked sense of humor. She is a technological leader among sports executives." She left the NBA to begin a two-year study for an MBA degree at Columbia Business School.After graduating, in 1997 Maged was hired as a consultant by Fox Sports International, with a particular focus on Latin American markets. She was then appointed Director of International Strategic Planning at ESPN International. In 1999 she was Vice President of Business Development at Internet Tradeline. At Internet Tradeline, Maged was responsible for the company's first radio agreements with WBLS and WLIB. Her perception of Internet marketing at the time was given in a February 1999 interview with Billboard in which she said "These small and midsize businesses are scared of the Internet, of competing in this environment with larger chain retailers. For them, it's a tremendous benefit to be able to get up and running online without incurring a huge cost." She then became Vice President of Marketing and New Media at Madison Square Garden under Pam Harris, cited as "a crucial role model in her development into a female business leader". At Madison Square Garden she managed online and strategic growth for the brand's assets such as Radio City Music Hall, MSG Network, the New York Knicks, and the New York Rangers. Her work in these various positions have involved her in the fields of business development and strategy, internet commerce, and market analysis, marketing and sales. She also worked as a consultant for Nickelodeon International while at Columbia Business School. Maged and her twin boys and family reside in the New York City metropolitan area.
