Ford Foundation Names New Private Equity Chief
The Ford Foundation has hired Sherif Nahas to oversee its private equity investment activities, as first reported yesterday by newsletter Private Equity Insider. Nahas will succeed Eric Doppstadt, who was recently promoted to chief investment officer. Nahas previously spent around seven years with the University of Virginia Investment Management Co., but was downsized as the school decided to scale back new general partner relationships. That portfolio continues to be managed by Rob Freer, who shared private equity responsibilities with Nahas.
