Introducing UVAFinance's Associate Vice President for Financial Operations

UVAFinance is pleased to announce that A. Leigh (Augie) Maurelli is officially joining our team as the Associate Vice President for Financial Operations on December 2nd. In this role, Maurelli will be responsible for accounting and financial reporting, procurement and supplier diversity, payroll, tax and operational contracts.

Since 2015, Maurelli has been the Assistant Vice President of Strategy and Operations at the University of Delaware, with responsibility for payroll, procurement, disbursements, financial systems, treasury, capital budgets, and enterprise risk management. Previously, he served as a Senior Associate Director of Athletics at Delaware and, earlier, at Georgetown, with prior experience at Goldman Sachs and Johnson Controls. Maurelli holds an MBA from Georgetown and BS in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins (where he also played football).

We look forward to having him join our team as we continue through Finance Transformation. Maurelli and his wife, Kristen (a JMU grad) have two young sons, Nicholas and Alexander, and looking forward to moving to Charlottesville. 

Judy Divita, whose conscientious and enthusiastic leadership in the interim role of AVP for Financial Operations we deeply appreciate, will continue to serve in the interim role until Maurelli's arrival, after which she will continue to lead the Administrative Services Group, working with Bill Ashby as we continue to strengthen and improve UVAFinance operations.
