Maximus has appointed Elizabeth Moellering as general counsel and corporate secretary, succeeding John Martinez, who departed earlier this year.
“I’m honored to lead the Maximus legal team at a pivotal time for government services,” she said. “The accelerating adoption of AI and digital innovation is creating new opportunities to help our partners deliver better outcomes—more efficiently and at greater scale—for the millions of citizens they serve. With 50 years of excellence behind us, I’m excited to help Maximus advance our mission and accelerate what’s next.”
Moellering has served as interim general counsel and deputy general counsel since February. She joined Maximus in 2024 as head of litigation before taking on additional responsibilities.
“The role of General Counsel is important to helping Maximus fulfill our mission assisting governments in the delivery of essential citizen programs,” said Bruce Caswell, Maximus president and CEO. “I am excited that Elizabeth has accepted this new role serving on our executive team. As we’ve worked together over the past few years, she has demonstrated strong judgment, collaborative leadership, and served as a trusted partner across our business.”
Before Maximus, Moellering handled complex litigation and investigations at Optum, served as a federal prosecutor focused on white-collar matters and child victim offenses, and practiced as a litigation associate at Skadden Arps.
