Maura Belliveau

Dr. Belliveau joined LIU in September 2011. Prior to her arrival, Dr. Belliveau was a faculty member at several leading business schools including Emory University and the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, where she was named one of the outstanding business school faculty members in the U.S. by Business Week.

Dr. Belliveau's most recent research and teaching focuses on the processes that define the success of professional, technical and managerial employees, particularly those factors that differentially affect men's and women's job search and salary attainment. In addition to her undergraduate and graduate teaching in on these topics, Dr. Belliveau regularly offers a professional development workshop, “Negotiating Success for Women,” offered through LIU’s Hutton House Lecture Series. Her research has been published in leading journals in management including Organization Science, the Academy of Management Journal, Personnel Psychology, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and been featured in The New York Times, Business Week, Fortune, The Economist, Fast Company, The Boston Globe, Washington Post, and on NPR, as well as in Congressional briefings on the glass ceiling and affirmative action. Dr. Belliveau currently serves on the editorial board of Organization Science and previously served on the board of Journal of Organizational Behavior.

Her teaching material has been used in graduate and executive education at the Harvard Business School, the University of Michigan, and the Thunderbird School of Global Management. She regularly speaks about women's careers at major business schools, industry forums, and in private workshops, and provides individual consulting to managers and executives leading their organization’s initiatives in the areas of strategic planning, large-scale change, HR, and diversity, as well as those seeking to optimize their own career transitions.

Prior to earning her doctorate, Dr. Belliveau was a strategy consultant and senior manager for Cambridge Technology Group, a successful start-up that went public in 1993 (as Cambridge Technology Partners), and which continues to spawn many other entrepreneurial ventures in technology and consulting.
