(Bloomberg) Northwestern University hired Amy Falls as chief investment officer of its endowment, one of the biggest in the U.S. with a $12.2 billion portfolio at year-end.
Falls, 56, will become the first woman to hold the post when she joins this spring, the Evanston school said Friday in a statement.
“We have great confidence in Amy’s ability to build the financial strength we need to invest further in our academic community and to carry out every aspect of our mission at a truly world-class level,” Northwestern President Morton Schapiro said in the statement.
