Maliz E. Beams served as Counselor of the United States Department of State from August 17, 2017, to November 27, 2017, during the presidency of Donald Trump.[1] She was hired by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as what Bloomberg News called the "redesign chief" of a department restructuring.[2] Her departure after three months of service drew media attention and was cited as evidence of problems within the department.[3][4][5]

Before working for the State Department, Beams was chief executive officer at Voya Financial and interim CEO at the New England Aquarium.[2][6] During the 1990s she worked in mutual fund marketing for multiple firms, including Scudder, Stevens, and Clark and Fleet Financial Group.[7]

Beams earned her Bachelor of Arts in English from Boston College and her Master of Business Administration from Columbia University.[8]
