CampusWorks Thought — and Action — Leaders

CampusWorks Executive Leadership

Liz Murphy
Chief Executive Officer & Chairman of the Board
Educated by Jesuits at the University of Scranton, Liz learned that no question is insignificant and that always asking “why” would expand not only her knowledge, but the impact she could have on the world. Her passion for higher education is inspired by the uplifting effect it has had on her life — like so many of us — and by the desire to empower everyone to reach their full potential by having the tools, environment, and support they need to do so. The impact she has made spans three decades and her work has touched countless lives.
Liz joined CampusWorks as CEO in 2011, after 22 years at Datatel (now Ellucian), and immediately saw and embraced a larger vision for how the company could support colleges and universities in their mission to change lives through education. Under Liz’s leadership, the CampusWorks team has grown from a few dozen employees to several hundred innovative thinkers and leaders able to solve the toughest of challenges. Liz leads by example. Calm, determined, and always thoughtfully intentional, Liz builds meaningful and lasting relationships that spell client and organizational achievement. Perhaps the greatest testament to her leadership are her team members who work hard to serve our clients and are inspired to make the impossible possible — and to make everyone around them happier and more fulfilled.

Natalya Boock
Chief Operating Officer
Natalya joined CampusWorks in 2005, when we could still count our employees on two hands. Her strategic mindset and analytical prowess have been instrumental in expanding our services, attracting new clients, and growing our team to several hundred people.
Born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania—and educated at the University of Scranton—Natalya began her career as a marketing associate at Sanofi-Pasteur in the Pocono Mountains. A leap of faith and a cross-country road trip led her to CampusWorks, where she discovered her passion for higher education (and her preference for Florida sunshine).

Keith Myers
SVP, Client Engagement
Born on a college campus, Keith hails from a long line of educators, dating back to his grandfather, Clovis Myers, who was the Dean of the Chemistry Department at a small Midwest private college. While seemingly destined to follow in his family’s footsteps, a job at his secondary school’s first ever computer lab introduced Keith to the exciting new world of information technology and set him on a path where his proud history and newfound interest would converge.
Keith has spent his entire career at the intersection of education and technology—from his freshman year at Bowling Green State University, where he worked in IT helping people access the internet via the original browser, Mosaic, to client engagement roles at organizations like N2N Services, Graduation Alliance, Socle Education, and Ellucian. Since joining CampusWorks in 2017, Keith has helped countless colleges and universities leverage the latest technological advances to prepare today’s students for the workforce of tomorrow.

Dan Silverburg
SVP, Service Development & Delivery
Education runs in Dan’s veins. Raised by two teachers (his dad was a Political Science professor, and his mom taught special education), Dan grew up watching his parents go the extra mile to help their students succeed. He knows firsthand that educators are some of the most purpose-driven professionals on the planet. Their example inspired him to dedicate his career to making a difference in higher education.
Dan spent nearly three decades leading teams focused on improving education in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia at companies like Burning Glass Technologies, Cengage Learning, IBM, and McGraw-Hill Education among others. Since joining CampusWorks in 2018, Dan has fostered a supportive culture in which our service delivery team feels comfortable turning to each other for help and is empowered to go the extra mile for our clients. It’s no wonder so many higher ed leaders tell us the CampusWorks team feels like an extension of their own.

Peter Xeinis
Chief Financial Officer
Born and raised in Athens, Greece, Peter went abroad when he was just 23 to pursue his education at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. An explorer at heart, Peter’s career has allowed him to explore cultures and practices from all around the globe. He learned about German professionalism and efficiency as a finance director at Mercedes-Benz, Belgian work-life balance as a senior financial analyst at Colgate Palmolive EU, and Japanese loyalty as an auditor at PriceWaterhouseCoopers serving Toyota. His role as vice president of finance and administration at Lavipharm is what finally brought him to New Jersey. Peter credits traveling and working with different cultures to opening his eyes and mind to new ideas, experiences, and ways of life.
Peter joined CampusWorks as CFO in 2016. While our strong financial performance and growth potential initially attracted him, it was our culture of belonging, which honors, values, and respects individuals and the richness of their differences, that sealed the deal.
