Maureen Clarke

Maureen Clarke is chief content officer and a veteran strategic planner, team leader, editor, writer, and problem solver. She built an award-winning crew of multimedia, multi-channel content producers and amplifiers at the Lincoln Institute, where she also led a rebranding effort in 2016, helped guide the organization through several restructuring efforts as a member of the leadership team since 2018, and delivered other measurable successes. She joined the Lincoln Institute in 2013 from Google, where she led staff and generated original content, furthering Google’s then-mission “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” At Wiley during the aughts, she helped develop and implement strategies to meet the then-emergent demand for mobile content, creating new series and first-edition products that rendered equally well online and in print. With blue-collar origins, she is a tireless worker who gets things done beautifully, on time, and within budget, with full consideration for end users and all involved in the process. She is a dual Irish and American citizen with a BA from Albright College and an MAT in English from Brown University, and she is currently completing an MS in Strategic Communication from Columbia University. As a historic curator for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, she and her husband rehabilitated an antique farmhouse in a state park, where they are now regenerating the grounds with native plants.
