The Coral Gables Museum is welcoming Mayi de la Vega, founder and CEO of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, to its board of directors.
A visionary business leader and committed philanthropist, de la Vega has been instrumental in elevating Florida’s luxury real estate market while supporting numerous cultural and community initiatives across South Florida.
Her contributions extend to institutions such as FIU-CasaCuba, the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), Women Photographers International Archive (WIP-Archive), and the International Women’s Committee of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), as well as philanthropic efforts supporting Jackson Health/Jackson Memorial and other community-focused causes.
“Joining the Coral Gables Museum Board is an honor and an exciting opportunity to contribute to the cultural vitality of this historic city,” de la Vega said. “I believe in the power of museums to educate, inspire, and unite communities, and I look forward to supporting strategies that strengthen its reach and impact.”
CGM Board chair Chip Withers added, “Mayi’s expertise in leadership, philanthropy and community engagement will be invaluable as we continue to grow our programs, exhibitions, and partnerships in service to Coral Gables and South Florida.”
Executive director Elvis Fuentes also was pleased.
“We are very grateful to Mayi and ONE Sotheby’s IR for sponsoring our upcoming exhibition,” Fuentes said. “Happy 100th Birthday, Celia!, celebrating the centennial of the Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz.”
As founder of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, de la Vega has been a driving force behind the growth of Florida’s luxury real estate market, leading initiatives that have established the firm as a leader in the industry. Her professional accomplishments are complemented by a longstanding commitment to the arts, education, and philanthropy, positioning her as a cultural advocate with strong ties to both local and international communities.
De la Vega’s addition to the board underscores the museum’s strategic priorities for the coming years: expanding access to educational programs, strengthening funding for high-impact exhibitions, and building partnerships with civic and cultural leaders.
