UC names Berkeley's Brostrom to systemwide post - Inside Bay Area

UC names Berkeley's Brostrom to systemwide post - Inside Bay Area:

"University of California regents today named UC Berkeley Vice Chancellor Nathan Brostrom to a systemwide administrative post.

Brostrom, who was instrumental in financing Berkeley's upcoming retrofit of Memorial Stadium, will make $375,000 as executive vice president for business operations for the 10-campus system. He had been in the position on an interim basis since September.

UC Berkeley hired Brostrom in 2006 from JP Morgan Securities, where he was the western manager of the firm's public-finance group. He was brought to the campus, in part, to find innovative ways to raise money, UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau said at the time.

Brostrom also has worked for Merrill Lynch and the state treasurer's office."
