An alumnus of both LSU (mechanical engineering) & Harvard (MBA) where he served as student body president at both LSU & Harvard.
The LSU Foundation will greatly improve under his leadership. The new HQ held their ceremonial ground breaking a few weeks ago,btw.

Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret will take over as president and CEO of the LSU Foundation in May. The foundation announced his selection earlier today, capping a months-long national search to fill the position. Moret will oversee fundraising and philanthropic activities for all campuses in the LSU system.
quote:
Moret comes to the position after seven years at LED, where he is widely credited with attracting more than $62 billion in investment and about 91,000 new jobs to the state. In a statement, Gov. Bobby Jindal, who appointed Moret to LED in January 2008, credits him with helping to transform LED into one of the nation’s most respected state economic development agencies.
quote:
Examples of LED’s wins under Moret’s leadership include landing major software/IT centers of IBM, CSC, GE Capital and CGI; recruiting Bell Helicopter’s Jet Ranger X manufacturing facility; attracting Benteler’s steel/pipe mill; and securing ConAgra’s sweet potato processing facility, which leverages research developed at the LSU AgCenter.

All the cars in the rendition are German...does Mr. Moret not love America?

That's great! I'm glad they're finally getting their own headquarters.

Also, they should've thrown in some yoga pants for good measure

It is the very best hire they could make. He will be an incredible asset and his network around the corporate world is astonishing which will help tremendously. He is very highly regarded across the public and private spectrum.
His replacement at LED will have some large shoes to fill and I hope Jindal makes a good choice.

The Jindalistas will find places to land, as he eases into his run for greater glory. Public teats, think tanks and other political jobs, mostly. Let's hope Moret can reverse some of the damage done to LSU under Jindal's reign.

He was CEO of Baton Rouge Area Chamber from 2004-2008, and head of Louisiana Economic Development from 2008-present. Not saying it's a bad hire, but the dude has been bouncing from teat to teat for awhile now.

Two jobs in 12 years?
I think this is a great hire. He's done a hell of a job at both BRAC and LED.

Love or hate Jindal....Moret is not a bad hire for this role at all. We could do much, much worse.

You are correct. My bad.
Good looking building. Is this going up on Nicholson?
Whatever helps them kick LSU up a notch. We have come a long way, but we are still behind peer institutions like Florida and Georgia.

His job at BRAC was to restructure the organization and the next governor is going to hire his own secretary. Besides 2 jobs in 12 years isn't the definition of job hopping IMO.

Moret is fantastic. I was an intern at LED and had the opportunity to sit in during a few of his meetings and work under him for a few projects. He's an amazing communicator, leader, & visionary; he'll be a great asset to LSU.
I wouldn't want anyone else. He's highly regarded among numerous sectors.

I'd love to hear what his goals and ideas for LSU are going forward. Seems like a great hire to me

Why would LSU hire a new president? The only hire they should be looking for is a football coach!!

They have to try him out at president before they trust him with the football team.

Yes, which gives me very mixed feelings about him leaving LED, and much as I love LSU.
He's been one of the only good things about the Jindal administration.
