Maria Ayerdi Kaplan: Salesforce Transit Center Should Have Her Statue In Front Of It, Marc Beinoff - Video
Maria Ayerdi Kaplan: Salesforce Transit Center Should Have A Statue Of Her In Front Of It, Marc Beinoff Who’s Maria Ayerdi Kaplan? She is the former San Francisco Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) Executive Director who built that organization and the Transit Center itself. She literally willed the Bay Bridge Regional Transit Center Replacement project into being at the behest of her boss, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown in 1998, and withstood a male leadership that did not want to take her seriously and at its worst allegedly harassed her. And that news does not come from Maria, but a high placed source. Someone well respected in San Francisco and Oakland East Bay transportation politics. Rather than treat her with respect, they scoffed at her call for additional security and cybersecurity after 9-11. Eventually, she gave in to physical and mental pressures and resigned in April of 2016. Those “major perks” she got were just compensation for the way she was treated. Call it “Maria Ayerdi Kaplan gets a divorce from the TJPA”. Because that’s what happened. Think about that in today’s scary times. Think where we would be if Maria gave in to that noise. The best way to mark what Maria has done is to erect a statue of her in front of Salesforce Transit Center. And I can’t think of anyone better to have it made than Marc Benioff, the founder and CEO of Salesforce, Inc. Stay tuned
