May Ng and John Kim Named Vice Presidents

The Annie E. Casey Foun­da­tion is pleased to announce the pro­mo­tion of May Ng to vice pres­i­dent and chief invest­ment offi­cer and the pro­mo­tion of John Kim to vice pres­i­dent – which is in addi­tion to his cur­rent posi­tion as chief of staff. 

Both appoint­ments take effect Oct. 12.

Ng joined the Casey Foun­da­tion in 2013 as direc­tor of Pub­lic Mar­ket Invest­ments to man­age Casey’s invest­ments in pub­licly trad­ed equi­ties, fixed income and cash. She has been respon­si­ble for all aspects of port­fo­lio con­struc­tion and man­age­ment, includ­ing devel­op­ing strat­e­gy and iden­ti­fy­ing emerg­ing invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties, per­form­ing due dili­gence on invest­ment man­agers, eval­u­at­ing port­fo­lio per­for­mance and mak­ing rec­om­men­da­tions on rebalancing. 

Before join­ing Casey, she was a senior invest­ment offi­cer at George Wash­ing­ton Uni­ver­si­ty and has held posi­tions at the Unit­ed Way of Amer­i­ca, Fred­die Mac and the Mon­i­tor Com­pa­ny. Ng has a mas­ter’s degree in eco­nom­ics and pub­lic pol­i­cy from Prince­ton Uni­ver­si­ty and a bach­e­lor’s degree in polit­i­cal sci­ence from Williams College. 

“I am delight­ed to have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pro­mote May, a con­sum­mate pro­fes­sion­al who has the skills, expe­ri­ence and lead­er­ship qual­i­ties required to expert­ly guide a port­fo­lio that helps us achieve our mis­sion of cre­at­ing brighter futures for chil­dren,” Casey Pres­i­dent and CEO Patrick McCarthy said. 

Kim is being pro­mot­ed to vice pres­i­dent as a reflec­tion of his new respon­si­bil­i­ties that now include over­sight of the Foundation’s Human Resources unit and will include admin­is­tra­tion of Orga­ni­za­tion­al Devel­op­ment at the begin­ning of the year. 

Kim rejoined the Foun­da­tion in 2012, after serv­ing as direc­tor of Strate­gic Ini­tia­tives and act­ing chief strat­e­gy offi­cer at the Cor­po­ra­tion for Nation­al and Com­mu­ni­ty Ser­vice for two years. He ini­tial­ly joined Casey as a pro­gram asso­ciate in 2002 and was pro­mot­ed to direc­tor of Grants Man­age­ment three years later. 

“John has demon­strat­ed his abil­i­ty to assume increas­ing and com­plex chal­lenges, and he has found solu­tions that help advance the Casey Foundation’s agen­da to improve the lives of kids in Amer­i­ca,” McCarthy said. ​“We are for­tu­nate to have a wealth of tal­ent­ed pro­fes­sion­als who are ready to step up to the plate when called and deliv­er results.”
