ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic Investment Group (Strategic), a leading Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) founded as an "investment department for hire" for pensions, foundations, endowments, and healthcare systems, announces some organizational updates. The firm has appointed Nikki Kraus as President and Chief Client Officer and has added internal and external members to its Board.

With 28 years of experience in the OCIO industry, Nikki joined Strategic almost eight years ago.

Strategic has also named Co-CIOs Chris Lvoff and Markus Krygier to its Board of Managers. Their appointment to the board recognizes the importance of our investment excellence, and the significant contributions they have made to the leadership of the firm and the firm's strategic direction.

As a further testament to our desire to evolve for the needs of our clients, Strategic has added external members to its Board of Managers who bring diverse experiences and unique perspectives. The most recent addition to the Board is Lisa Green Hall. She has over 30 years of impact investing expertise and is currently Impact Chairperson at Apollo Global Management. Lisa joins two other external Board members: Eve Guernsey, former CEO of JP Morgan Asset Management Americas, and Bill Riegel with over 40 years of investment experience, including more than 17 years at TIAA Asset Management where he was Senior Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer.

"As Chair of the Board, I welcome the opportunity to work with these exceptional business leaders in the continued pursuit of delivering investment excellence to our clients," added Michelle McCloskey.
