"I am pleased that Mike has agreed to serve as Interim Chief Investment Officer,” said President Joseph J. Helble ’82. “He has been an important part of our investment office team for 7 years, and with it brings extensive experience in investment management and a deep understanding of our university’s priorities. I am grateful for his leadership during this important transition and his commitment to safeguarding and growing the university’s investment portfolio in support of our academic mission."
“I’m honored to step into the role of Interim Chief Investment Officer at such a pivotal time,” Gould said. “I look forward to working with our investment team, university leadership, trustees and stakeholders to continue building on the strong foundation in place.”
Gould’s appointment begins as the university plans to launch a national search for the Chief Investment Officer position. A committee composed of representatives from the Board of Trustees, university leadership and faculty will lead the candidate search.
Gould succeeds Kristin Agatone, Lehigh’s Chief Investment Officer since 2016.
