UVM Foundation Names New CEO

Christopher Jacobsen, a nationally recognized fundraising powerhouse with a proven track record at Cornell and Dartmouth, is set to become the new CEO of the University of Vermont Foundation starting August 3rd. He’s poised to supercharge donor engagement and alumni support, bringing with him the expertise to lead a major fundraising campaign and deliver tangible results. With a PhD from Boston College and an MBA from Harvard, Jacobsen combines academic credibility with real-world success—including finishing a $500M campaign early and securing over $100M in new gifts for Cornell’s College of Human Ecology in just two years. His appointment, following a nationwide search, signals UVM’s serious commitment to growth and philanthropy, as both he and President Marlene Tromp see this as a pivotal opportunity to strengthen the university’s impact across Vermont.
