Maria Castañón Moats

Leader, Governance Insights Center, PwC US

I live by my mother’s words: “It doesn’t cost us anything to dream, so let’s dream big.” I strive to strengthen the connection between directors, executives and investors as they navigate the evolving governance landscape.

As the Governance Insights Center leader, I am relentlessly focused on helping directors address corporate governance issues by providing insights and tools to help them be more informed and effective in their roles and create better outcomes.

Before leading the Governance Insights Center, I served as PwC’s Chief Diversity Officer and Vice Chair, Mexico and US Assurance Leader - overseeing PwC’s national Assurance practice, including strategy and operational aspects to manage a practice of approximately 20,000 professionals. I am currently the Senior Relationship Partner (SRP) for several large multinational clients in the financial services, transportation, consumer and industrial products industries.

I am a first-generation Mexican-American and an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion. Family — particularly extended family — is very important to me. I currently reside in Dallas with my two children.
