The UC Board of Regents today (Sept. 18) approved the appointment of Nathan Brostrom as the university’s executive vice president – chief financial officer, effective Sept. 22.
Brostrom has served as the interim chief financial officer at the UC Office of the President, in addition to his existing appointment as executive vice president for business operations, since April 25, when former CFO Peter Taylor left the university.
As CFO, Brostrom will oversee all aspects of financial management at the 10 UC campuses, five medical centers and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
The regents also approved Brostrom’s interim appointment as the executive vice president – chief operating officer. That appointment will continue through Sept. 21, 2015, or until the appointment of a permanent COO, whichever occurs first.
Brostrom’s base salary, which will remain at $412,000, also was approved by the regents.
Brostrom became UC’s executive vice president for business operations on an interim basis in September 2009, and took on the role permanently in February 2010. Before joining UCOP, he served as the vice chancellor for administration at UC Berkeley since 2006. Prior to that, Brostrom worked for J.P. Morgan, and for former California State Treasurer Kathleen Brown.
