Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that Jing Yu has accepted our offer to serve as ANR's next Director of Financial Services.

Jing, who has served in the interim director's role for the past year, assumes leadership of a function that has increasing strategic importance in the years ahead, at ANR and UC systemwide, with a focus on modernizing financial and business systems in addition to a focus toward balance sheet financial management to best support future capital needs and debt financing.

Jing joined ANR in 2013, coming from the UC Berkeley Controller's Office where she started her career with UC in 2009. Jing is a California Certified Public Accountant (CPA), has a master's degree in accounting and finance, and over 15 years of business, finance and accounting experience in the institutional, corporate and public accounting firm sectors.

Please join me in congratulating Jing on her new position with ANR.

I also want to take this opportunity to formally thank the search committee for all their efforts to bring this recruitment to a successful completion. 

Jake
