TIAA-CREF Appoints Virginia M. Wilson

Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF) announced the appointment of Virginia M. (Gina) Wilson as executive vice president and chief financial officer. She succeeds Georganne C. Proctor, who in January was named TIAA-CREF’s chief integration officer.

Wilson will oversee TIAA-CREF’s finance and actuarial functions, including financial management and planning, actuarial, tax, accounting, and financial reporting. She will be a member of TIAA-CREF’s executive management team and will work across the organization to continue to strengthen financial processes and maximize the value of the organization’s assets.

Wilson was most recently executive vice president and chief financial officer at Wyndham Worldwide, where she created the financial and technology infrastructure upon its spin off from Cendant in 2006. From 2003 to 2006, she had served Cendant as its executive vice president and chief accounting officer. Before joining Cendant, she was corporate controller of MetLife and, before that, of Transamerica’s life insurance operations. At the beginning of her career she served a wide variety of financial service, not-for-profit and other clients during her almost 20 years at Deloitte. -Business Wire
