Maurice Davis

As a mission-driven professional with over a decade of experience in education and workforce development, I specialize in program success, learner-centered advising, and cross-functional collaboration that drives impact. My work has spanned coaching adult learners through high-stakes career transitions, managing high-impact student success programs, and optimizing operational workflows to improve retention, engagement, and performance outcomes. At Merit America, I support diverse learners navigating nontraditional career paths, combining data-informed strategies with empathetic coaching. Previously, in higher education, I led advising, program coordination, and transfer success initiatives for hundreds of students—many from historically marginalized backgrounds. I have a track record of building scalable processes, strengthening learner outcomes, and fostering collaboration across teams to solve complex challenges. My professional strengths include stakeholder engagement, process improvement, career development programming, and mentoring across diverse populations. Whether coaching individuals, coordinating multi-site programs, or facilitating cross-team initiatives, I bring strategic thinking, deep listening, and a commitment to equity to every space I enter. I thrive in environments where I can continue to drive learner and client success through program management, talent development, or operations roles within mission-aligned organizations.
