Emmy Award-nominated co-founder, Lillian May began her career with a local video production company called Visual Dimensions, during her undergraduate studies at the University of Miami. Although she was hired to develop marketing strategies and campaigns, she soon was involved in the writing, directing, and producing of industrial videos and television commercials. Subsequently, Lillian earned her BBA in International Finance and Marketing and was also bestowed the Marketing Award of Honor from UM's Business School. Lillian also taught Marketing Foundations and International Economic Policy at the University of Miami’s School of Continuing Studies. She then went on to graduate with a Master in Business Administration. Upon graduation, Lillian was hired by Cordis (now a Johnson & Johnson company). Due to her combined Marketing and Finance education, she was quickly promoted to work under the V.P. of Marketing, the Treasurer and President of Cordis Bio-Synthetics, as well as the V.P. of Cordis Corporate Research, and Cordis’ Treasurer, eventually reporting to Cordis' CFO and sitting on the Board of Cordis Bio Synthetics by her mid-twenties.

Upon co-founding May International Productions, Lillian also became involved in all aspects of production from field producing to scriptwriting. Her wide range of education and experience prepared Lillian with the formula for success... give client's an advantage in their own markets by maximizing business communication and service while maintaining minimum fees to them. Today, Lillian lends her expertise to May International Productions in the development and design video productions while striving to meet and/or exceed our clients' desired goals in a cost effective manner. 

In addition to her participation in various professional, community and charitable activities during her corporate tenure, Lillian became an active board member of Centro Mater Foundation from 1990 to 2015. Centro Mater Foundation is a non-profit daycare and afterschool program established in 1968 to provide vital services to in-need children. Lillian participated in the growth of Centro Mater from one center to five fully accredited centers throughout South Florida dring her tenure. In 2015, she withdrew from Centro Mater's board to help care for her mother who was stricken with ALS. Since then, both she and Marlene have served on various fundraising committees to help find a cure for ALS, including the University of Miami's ALS Center and the ALS Organization of Greater Miami. In addition, Lillian has been volunteering with the Heel2Heal Therapy Dog Organization, along with Roxy, her trained and certified dog, in providing therapy visits to students and patients, the young and old, throughout the community for over 5 years.
