Maeve is thrilled to join the Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy program as the Career Services and Alumni Affairs Manager. Her previous position was SoFi's first Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, where she designed and implemented structures that enabled SoFi to be more inclusive and supportive of its diverse employees. As Assistant Dean and Director of the Career Management Center at Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), she leveraged emerging technologies to improve and scale career development programs and resources to MBAs and alumni. Her corporate roles included working as CFO of Arteris Inc. where she was responsible for finance, accounting, control, and human resources functions. While CFAO of Stupski Foundation, she led mission support areas of finance, human resources, and information technology. As CFO and COO of Progress Investment Management Company, she revamped finance, human resources, operations, information technology, and administration functions. At McAfee, as VP Treasurer of McAfee, she directed worldwide cash, investments, debt, risk, insurance, and credit and collections management. In addition, Maeve has held varying positions of increasing responsibility in corporate finance, relationship management, and treasury at SRI International, JP Morgan, Levi Strauss & Co., and Sun Microsystems. 

Maeve's first love is international relations. She majored in International Economy of Industrial Societies at UC Berkeley. She lived in Germany as an exchange student and spent another year at the Universitat Heidelberg as a Rotary Foundation Fellow. She met her husband while working toward an MBA from Stanford GSB. Her proudest accomplishment is somehow managing to balance career, life, and becoming the mother of three human beings. Her best career and life advice is Oscar Wilde's -- "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."
