The University of California’s investments director is heading to Arlington, Virginia to take on the role of executive director and chief investment officer for the county’s retirement system.
Susie Ardeshir will join the $3 billion Arlington County Employees’ Retirement System to lead its investment office in July. Arlington County is one of the few pensions in the country that is 100 percent funded, meaning it has enough money to meet its pension promises.
Ardeshir is succeeding Daniel Zito, who has been Arlington’s CIO for the past 13 years and is now retiring.
