Stephen Blyth, an eight-year veteran of the Harvard Management Company, has been promoted to chief executive of the in-house unit that oversees the nation’s biggest higher-education endowment, Bloomberg writes. Harvard announced the choice a day after reporting a 15.4-percent return for the 2014 fiscal year, ahead of projections but behind several Ivy League peers.
Mr. Blyth, a statistician with a Harvard doctorate who teaches a course at Harvard currently serves as the nonprofit management firm’s head of public markets. He will take control of the $36.4-billion endowment on January 1, replacing Jane Mendillo, who is stepping down after five years as CEO.
