Smith College appoints first-ever CIO
Lisa Howie
Lisa Howie was named chief investment officer at Smith College, a spokeswoman for the Northampton, Mass.-based institution confirmed in an email.
The position is new.
Effective June 28, Ms. Howie will oversee the college s $2 billion endowment. She will report to Smith College President Kathleen McCartney and the board of trustee s investment committee.
Ms. Howie is a director at Yale University s investments office, which manages the New Haven, Conn.-based university s $31.2 billion endowment. A Yale spokeswoman could not be immediately reached for additional information.
Smith College announced in December that it had decided to manage its investments in-house after using outsourced CIO Investure LLC since 2004. Executive recruiting firm David Barrett Partners assisted in the search.
She will be the first woman to oversee the $12.2 billion endowment.
Amy Falls
Northwestern University has appointed Amy Falls as its vice president and chief investment officer. She will be the first woman to oversee the $12.2 billion endowment.
Falls will succeed William H. McLean, who left the endowment in October after 18 years in the position, the school said Friday. Falls was chosen after a monthslong national search conducted by David Barrett Partners and was recommended by an internal committee.
“I am honored and excited to join the Northwestern Investment Office team and look forward to working with them, the board and my new colleagues to advance the university’s mission,” Falls said in a statement.
