Following a national search, the University of Colorado Foundation named Dennis C. Piper as vice president and chief financial officer effective Sept. 17.<\/p>\n

Piper brings a strong track record and more than 30 years of broad-based corporate financial experience to the position. Most recently he was senior vice president at Northern Trust in Chicago where he designed, implemented, and monitored investment programs for large institutional clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very pleased and excited to be joining the CU Foundation,\u201d Piper said. \u201cIt is an outstanding organization with an important mission.\u00a0I appreciate the trust and confidence placed in me, and I will work hard to be a good steward of donor assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donors contributed more than $110 million in the 2011-12 fiscal year in support of the University of Colorado through the Foundation\u2014which operates on an annual budget of approximately $23 million and manages more than $900 million in assets consisting primarily of endowments managed on behalf of CU.<\/p>\n

At the CU Foundation, Piper will oversee strategic and tactical matters related to the financial management of the Foundation. These responsibilities have most recently been overseen by Richard W. Lawrence, who earlier this year became the Foundation\u2019s president and chief executive officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great pleasure to welcome Dennis to the CU Foundation team,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cHis extensive leadership and investment experience will help us maximize our ability to efficiently support the outstanding people, places, and programs throughout CU\u2019s four campuses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to joining Northern Trust, Piper was vice president of finance at Sprint Corporation, where he had responsibility for the treasury department for seven years and served in other senior financial positions. Prior to his 16 years at Sprint, Piper spent 11 years at the Pillsbury Company in various financial roles.<\/p>\n

Piper holds a B.S. in Applied Science and Engineering from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. After serving as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army for five years, he earned his MBA in Finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.<\/p>\n
