Loyola Marymount University has named Aimee Uen as its next senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective June 1.
Uen has nearly 20 years of financial experience, including 10 years in LMU’s Finance Division, where she served most recently as vice president for finance and controller.
“As the first Asian American woman to serve as CFO at LMU, I am honored and excited to join the executive leadership team,” Uen said.
According to an LMU statement, Uen’s “fiscal leadership has been vital to maintaining LMU’s strong financial position throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic challenges, positioning the institution to emerge more competitive.”
“Her business acumen, paired with the prowess for driving operational efficiencies, process improvements, and technology solutions has enabled the university to adjust quickly to the new dynamics of a virtual and remote educational environment.”
LMU President Timothy Law Snyder called Uen “an exemplary finance leader whose expertise in accounting, forecasting and treasury, as well as her background in driving operational excellence, are propelling the university’s strong financial position.”
Prior to joining LMU, SVP Uen was an assurance manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP in Los Angeles. She earned a bachelor’s degree in business economics with emphasis in accounting and a minor in Asian American Studies from UC Santa Barbara.
