Her professional background includes experience in investment banking, the corporate sector, and nonprofit leadership, where she has led large-scale financial and operational transformations.
Stewart has held executive roles including U.S. president at United Way Worldwide, the world's largest charitable organization, and chief diversity officer, senior vice president for community charitable giving, and foundation president and CEO at Fannie Mae.
