Earlier this year, MPERS welcomed three new members to the team.
Rowan Walquist joined the investment team in January and Stephen Robbins joined in March. They serve as investment analysts and assist with the day-to-day operations of the investment portfolio including, but not limited to, reconciling monthly valuations and performance of investment managers, coordinating capital calls from private equity and real estate partnerships, monitoring and calculating investment manager fees, and ensuring that any discrepancies are researched and resolved.
Katy Lacy joined MPERS in April as the Human Resources Officer. She is responsible for administering all aspects of the human resources function including recruitment, employee relations and development, workplace safety, compensation strategy, and risk management. She is also responsible for facility operations.
We are excited to have these new additions join the MPERS team!
