Ivan,
I apologize for the delay in getting these answers back to you as I have
been traveling. Please see my responses below and feel free to call if you
have any other questions.
Best,
Hunter

*What was your working relationship with Maura? *

I have known Maura for almost 20 years and I have known her family for over
40 years. While we have never worked directly for the same firm at the
same time there have been a number of ways our paths have crossed
professionally. My primary professional interaction with Maura was while
she was at ONE, an organization I have been involved with and volunteered
for for a number of years now.

*What are some areas that she excels in? *

Maura has fantastic interpersonal skills, has a great ability to connect
with people and is a great advocate for any organization she works for.

*What are some examples of accomplishments or programs she implemented?*

Not having worked directly with Maura I am not familiar with specific
programs the implemented.

*What are some examples of some difficult situations that she handled well?*

Maura and I did have the opportunity to work for a few months with a
potential start up technology company that ultimately didn’t launch. I was
very impressed with how Maura handled the situation and how well she
managed some disappointment amongst some of the stakeholders that the
venture didn’t launch.

*What are some weaknesses or examples of situations that she could have
handled better?*

I don’t know of any.

*What are some things that her new manager should know to motivate and
bring out the best in her performance?*

Having never managed Maura I can’t give any insight into specific tools to
motivate her.

*What is your overall assessment on Maura on fit for this type of role with
Special Olympics?*
Maura has understood the importance of serving others all of her life.
This is most indicative of the jobs she has held in her career from the ONE
Foundation to the Clinton Foundation. She has been around high-profile
people her whole life and understands what is required to work directly
with celebrities and talent. I can not think of a more perfect match
between a job and an applicant and recommend Maura highly and without
reservation.
