Esslie Hughes
A graduate of Wesleyan University and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, I am a strong, respected leader driven by an enduring interest in leadership, ethics, and in mentoring and developing leaders. I have been fortunate in senior roles at The Bank of New York, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), and in recent years at The Episcopal Diocese of New York, to have acquired extensive management, financial, governance, and operations experience. As an exofficio member of the Diocesan Board of Trustees, I also serve as staff liaison to the Investment, Finance, Budget, Audit, and Risk Management Committees, among others. I hope my experiences listed above, and as a member of a number of other nonprofit boards including Episcopal Divinity School and the Episcopal Church Building Fund, can be leveraged to help guide the Church Pension Fund to continued excellence and living into best practices, in order to support the broader mission of the church.
