Subject: Willem Roos Named VP of Finance
Dear GUMC Community:
We are very pleased to announce that Willem Roos has been named vice president of finance for the Medical Center effective January 20.
Willem first joined our GUMC team in September of 2023 as interim vice president for finance, serving simultaneously as the university’s controller. During the past 16 months, Willem has demonstrated strong leadership helping to strengthen our financial position as we organize our foci of activities around our strengths, goals and priorities. Specifically, Willem played an instrumental role in developing and launching our faculty compensation plan. Through his collaborative and transparent style, he has built an important trust among our colleagues across our schools, units, centers and departments. Willem understands the importance of sustaining all aspects of our mission. He brings an expertise and a commitment to ensuring that the necessary resources are available for all of us to excel in meeting the needs of the communities we serve.
In this new role for the Medical Center, Willem will oversee all aspects of financial strategy and operations for GUMC, including budgeting, resource planning, revenue management, and financial performance. As a key leader within both the GUMC and the CFO’s offices, Willem will work closely with our GUMC unit/school leaders and serve as a critical bridge to Georgetown’s chief financial officer’s office.
The partnership between the university’s CFO’s office and GUMC leadership is critical to supporting the unique and complex financial structure of the Medical Center while ensuring alignment with Georgetown’s broader financial policies. Willem’s expertise and collaborative approach make him uniquely positioned to succeed in this role as we continue to grow and strengthen our Medical Center.
Please join us in congratulating Willem.
Sincerely,
Norman J. Beauchamp, MD, MPH
