Greg Schuler is stepping down from his role as chief investment officer, effective June 30, to pursue other opportunities.

Paul Lawrence will serve as acting chief investment officer in addition to his permanent duties as treasurer. Lawrence, a 1993 graduate of the Katz Graduate School of Business, previously served as Pitt’s managing director of investments and assistant treasurer since 2000. He has worked for the University since 1994.

Pitt will immediately begin a national search to find the next chief investment officer.

Schuler came to Pitt in 2018 after serving as CIO and treasurer for BJC HealthCare, a nonprofit health care integrated delivery organization in St. Louis, Missouri, since 2011.
