New Vice President of Finance and Treasurer Named
President Jones has
announced the appointment of Mr. Early Reese to the position of vice
president of finance and treasurer of the College. Reese comes to
Trinity with 30 years of financial experience from PriceWaterhouse-Coopers,
Philip Morris, and the United States Olympic Committee.
“Early Reese brings an ideal combination of professional skills and
experience to this position,” says Scott Reynolds, secretary of the
College and interim CFO, who headed the search to fill the position.
“He has distinguished himself in the private, not-for-profit, and
academic worlds.”
As chief of finance and administration at the USOC, Reese managed all
aspects of finance, facilities, and information technology—reducing
operating budget deficits, spearheading construction projects,
upgrading technology services, and working with the investment team to
manage the endowment. During his 21 years at Philip Morris, he served
in a variety of financial, accounting, and information services
positions. Having served as rector (chairman of the board of trustees)
and as chairman of the finance and audit committee for Virginia State
University, he is familiar with the financial and management issues
related to an academic institution.
“We are attempting to assemble the most outstanding group of senior
line officers that Trinity has ever enjoyed,” explains Jones. “Recent
appointments, including those of Ron Joyce and Paula Russo, would
indicate that we are on the right track. This is certainly the case
with someone as experienced and as nationally recognized as Early
Reese. We welcome him to the College community and look forward to
years of working together to make Trinity an even better college.”
A certified public accountant, Reese holds an M.B.A from the College
of William and Mary and a B.S. from Virginia State University. He is
past president of the Richmond chapter of the National Association of
Black Accountants and a former member of the special education
advisory board for the Richmond public schools. Having previously
lived in New York and in Stamford, Connecticut, Reese notes that he is
looking forward to returning to the area when he begins his duties on
Wednesday, May 18.
“I am both humbled and grateful for the opportunity to join the
Trinity family,” says Reese. “This institution has distinguished
itself over the years by a commitment to academic excellence and
developing great leaders. I look forward to working with President
Jones, the faculty, and the staff to continue to set new standards of
excellence for liberal arts institutions.”
