Ms. Matthews, age 61, retired in June 2019 after a successful 36-year career at Ernst & Young where she held several leadership roles for the global organization. Most recently, Ms. Matthews served as a Vice Chair of the EY Americas Board, a member of the EY Global Practice Group, and the Managing Partner of EYs West Region, with responsibility for all services delivered to clients in the region. Ms. Matthews has served on the boards of directors of SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB), whose businesses, including Silicon Valley Bank, offer commercial, investment and private banking, asset management, private wealth management, brokerage and investment services and funds management services to companies in the technology, life science and healthcare, private equity and venture capital, and premium wine industries, since September 2019, and Coherent, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHR), one of the worlds leading providers of lasers, laser-based technologies and laser-based system solutions for scientific, commercial and industrial customers, since May 2019. She also serves on each boards audit committee. Ms. Matthews is a certified public accountant and earned a Bachelor of Accounting degree, cum laude, from Texas Tech University.
