Alumni Spotlight: Deborah Gallegos MBA (Berkeley Haas)
For this University of California Haas School of Business MBA, a solid education has paid off. And not just for herself but for those that can retire comfortably thanks to her.
Deborah Gallegos (Berkeley – Haas ’95) was the Chief Investment Officer of New York City’s pension funds in 2005, which possesses a combined total of $85 billion. It’s one of the most complicated retirement fund systems in the country. As the CIO for the City of New York, she was charged with handling the money that enabled some of the most vital groups of urban employees – firefighters, teachers, cops and civil servants – to have comfortable retirement years.
