About Mauri Schwartz

Mauri Schwartz, President and founder of Career Insiders, is a leading figure in the Bay Area career management community. In addition to her success helping clients achieve their career management goals, Mauri is a frequent speaker at professional conferences, job fairs, and student career panels.

Prior to founding Career Insiders, she successfully recruited and established recruitment departments for a diverse client base, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies in financial services, biotechnology, software, IT consulting, and other industries. Previously, Mauri enjoyed a successful high tech career with such companies as IBM and McKesson.  In her early days as a technical professional, she developed software for the US Navy's Trident Submarine.

Further highlighting her skills as presenter and coach and reflecting Career Insiders’ philosophy of “giving back”, Mauri has a strong history of community involvement and has served in leadership roles with numerous San Francisco community boards and commissions, including the San Francisco Board of Permit Appeals, San Francisco Citizens Committee on Community Development, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce Small Business Advisory Council, UCSF-Mount Zion Medical Center Auxiliary Board of Directors (recently merged with UCSF Medical Center Auxiliary), and Regional Cancer Foundation Board of Directors.  In her "spare time," she is currently volunteering as a reading tutor at Daniel Webster Elementary School in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. "I think it's time I focused some attention on the ones who will be our leaders when I'm older."

Mauri received an MBA from the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, and a BS in Mathematics from Tulane University. She believes much education comes from experience. "Customer service," she says, "became second nature to me working for so many years in my family’s retail clothing business."
