Georgetown University CIO Mike Barry is leaving to become vice president of investments and CIO at Johns Hopkins University, according to an internal announcement issued by Georgetown. Managing Director Chris Gill has been named Georgetown’s interim CIO as “we work to launch a search for our next chief investment officer,” according to the announcement.
Barry, Georgetown’s CIO since 2011, will leave at the end of the month and succeed Jason Perlioni, who stepped down from his position at Johns Hopkins in June 2024. During Barry’s time managing the Georgetown endowment’s portfolio, its assets nearly quadrupled to $3.7 billion from $1 billion. He leaves to helm a much larger portfolio at Johns Hopkins, which has an asset value of approximately $13 billion.
“Mike and his team have significantly outperformed their policy benchmark during this time, while doing so in a way that managed risk prudently for the endowment,” Georgetown’s announcement stated.
Georgetown’s internal announcement also lauded Barry for overseeing the first endowment to voluntarily disclose the diversity statistics of its external fund managers.
Gill has been at Georgetown since 2014, when he joined as director of public markets in the investment office before being promoted to managing director in 2021. Prior to joining Georgetown, Gill worked at asset manager Emerging Markets Management for nine years.
Prior to joining Georgetown, Barry was responsible for investment of the endowment and operating funds at the University System of Maryland Foundation’s investment office.
