Distinguished Alumni  

Barbara Whye

(’89 USC electrical engineering, ’95 MBA) 

Vice President of Inclusion & Diversity, Apple 

Moore School Distinguished Alumni Award recipient Barbara Whye is Apple’s vice president of Inclusion & Diversity. At Apple, she leads the company's commitment to building a more equitable and inclusive world by increasing diverse representation at every level, fostering an inclusive culture that brings everybody in and ensuring equitable pay and access to opportunity for all. 

A globally recognized leader on issues of representation in the technology industry, Whye joined Apple in 2021, after spending 25 years with Intel Corporation where she held several leadership roles, including serving as the company's chief diversity and inclusion officer the last five years of her tenure. At Apple, she partners with senior leaders around the world and leads the company’s work to build inclusion and diversity into every system and process. 

She has championed efforts to ensure women and candidates from other underrepresented communities have fair access to opportunities and has implemented new practices to have more diverse candidates in the interview process — as candidates and on interview panels.  

Whye said that her time in the Moore School MBA program prepared her for the competitive environment in the technology sector.

“From the Moore School, I learned the importance of being a strong generalist in all aspects of business to be successful as a future executive,” she said. “Having an MBA to complement the engineering bachelor’s degree was intentional in achieving that goal, especially to excel in the tech industry.”

In 2022, Whye was recognized as one of Savoy Magazine's Most Influential Black Executives in Corporate America and was recognized by Women We Admire as one of the Top 50 Women Leaders of Arizona for 2022. Fortune recognized Whye as one of the Most Powerful Women in 2020.

She also sits on the Board of Directors for BlackLine, Inc., and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Whye is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and Ethics at Arizona State University and is expected to graduate in 2024.

Distinguished Young Alumni 

Ann-Stanton C. Gore  

(’07 finance and marketing) 

Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Primis 

Moore School Distinguished Young Alumni Award recipient Ann-Stanton C. Gore was named in September 2021 the executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Primis, a Virginia-based financial institution.

As the EVP and CMO, Gore leads Primis’s marketing, digital and promotional programs, advancing the bank’s digital transformation and V1be, Primis’s proprietary banking-delivery service.

In addition, she oversees the bank’s corporate social responsibly initiatives, including Primis Works, the company’s flagship program that empowers single mothers by providing a fully paid, life-changing opportunity to establish and grow meaningful careers.

Gore attributes her part of her journey to the C-suite with Primis to the “well-rounded business acumen” she gained from her time at the Moore School.

“My finance and marketing concentrations are directly correlated to my career growth in the financial industry,” she said. “I believe my business creativity, ingenuity, innovation and graceful pivoting skills were ignited at the Moore School and seriously honed immediately upon graduation in 2007, which was right at the beginning of the great recession in the U.S.”

Prior to joining Primis, Ann-Stanton was Ameris Bank’s head of marketing and then director of corporate communications as the company grew from $1 billion in assets to more than $20 billion. During her 14-year tenure, she led the marketing and communications efforts for 18 mergers and acquisitions and launched the bank into a new era with a new bold and humanized brand.

A 2018 Best and Brightest award recipient by Columbia Business Monthly, Gore is on the faculty with the South Carolina Bankers School. She was recognized as Ameris Bank’s Enterprise Services Banker of the Year in 2016, among other internal accolades. She has volunteered with the Junior League of Columbia since 2008 and served on the organization’s executive management board from 2019-2021.

Distinguished Young Alumni 

Drew D. Stevens  

(’10 finance and insurance and risk management) 

Certified Financial Planner, G3 Wealth Advisors

Moore School Distinguished Young Alumni Award recipient Drew Stevens is a Certified Financial Planner with Northwestern Mutual and a partner in the G3 Wealth Advisors firm. Stevens began interning with Northwestern Mutual as a sophomore after meeting their representatives at a Moore School Business EXPO career fair.

Northwestern Mutual’s top intern in 2009, Stevens passed his Series 7 General Securities Representative Exam while a senior at USC and was one of the youngest stockbrokers in the state at the time.

“The Moore School taught me the importance of commitment, discipline and follow through — all of which have been instrumental in growing my financial planning practice,” he said. “I knowingly chose a harder path double majoring at the business school; the grit I learned gave me the confidence to bet on myself in an all-commission role building a business from scratch. Nothing worth having comes easy, and my time at the Moore School helped me learn this.”    

He has worked as a financial advisor and wealth management advisor for Northwestern Mutual in Columbia since graduating in 2010.

Stevens currently serves the Moore School through their mentorship program, as a Moore Ambassador and member of the USC-Business Partnership Foundation Board of Advisors. In 2017, he was named by the Columbia Metropolitan Magazine as one of Columbia's “Top Ten Young Professionals.” He served for more than four years on the Moore School’s Young Alumni Board, including as chair in 2018-2019.

Stevens has also volunteered for and served on boards for numerous community organizations, including United Way of the Midlands, the American Heart Association, Lexington Medical Center, Columbia Opportunity Resource, Harvest Hope food bank, Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, Special Olympics, March of Dimes and Transitions.

He has been married to Reece for two years, and they anticipate welcoming their first child three days before the Business Leadership Dinner where he’ll be recognized for the Distinguished Young Alumni designation. 

Distinguished Corporate Partner  

United Parcel Service (UPS)

UPS is an invaluable partner for the Moore School. Two of their top executives share their expertise while serving on center boards and inform the school’s course curriculum, thought leadership and research; UPS participates in master’s-level and undergraduate courses; their generous donations have funded the UPS Global Scholars program; they hire interns and alumni for a variety of positions; and they mentor students.

UPS consistently works with the Master of International Business and operations and supply chain programs on semester-long projects to give students real-world experience, and the students provide top-level recommendations to enhance UPS processes. Learn more by visiting bit.ly/mibups21, bit.ly/mibups22 and bit.ly/upsosc. Executives have also participated in professional development programming and entrepreneurial leadership.

Funded by The UPS Foundation, the UPS Global Scholars Program’s purpose is to broaden participation by underrepresented populations in international business programming. The UPS Global Scholars Program is the first — and so far, only one — of its kind funded by The UPS Foundation. Including the 2022-2023 academic year, the UPS Foundation has provided $750,000 during the first five years of the program for undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships. Learn more by visiting bit.ly/upsscholars

Since 1989, UPS has been proud to partner with the Moore School in internship and job recruitment and leadership development.

While most people think of the company’s package delivery function, UPS has transformed into a much more complex global corporation. Over the past couple of decades, the organization has made significant strides to increase its international reach. Today, UPS operates in more than 220 countries and territories and employs more than 534,000 people worldwide.
