Isabel Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell, is an Internet consultant and former leader of several Internet startups.
Isabel, along with a non-identical twin sister Christine,[1] was born in 1951 in Y, France to Rbert and X Maxwell. She graduated from Oxford in 1972.[1] After that she studied at University of Edinburgh and began a career in film and television production. In 1981, she moved to the United States.[1]
David Hayden husband.
She was a co-founder, along with her husband and twin sister, of the company behind early search engine Magellan. Isabel joined sister Christine who was leading a small company called Research on Demand that was online in 1993. The company changed names to McKinley group and became a search engine with ratings. Isabel served as a senior vice president (her husband was CEO and her sister was publisher). In early 1996, the company was poised to IPO, but investment bank Robertson Stephens decided to put Excite on the market first. A few months later, IPOs became difficult and the startup company was running out of money. Magellan wanted to go public with Lehman doing the offering but was unsuccessful. [The book Burn Rate also describes a failed deal to combine with Wolff New Media, which shortly later went broke itself.[3]] With money running short, Isabel's husband was pushed out by investors and her sister left. Isabel resumed the responsibility to dispose of the company. After a layoff, the firm was sold for $18 million (of stock) to competitor Excite.[1]
