Catholic Relief Services has announced that Dr. Carolyn Y. Woo has been named the agency’s president and CEO, succeeding Ken Hackett, who is retiring after leading CRS for the past 18 years.
Woo, 57, has served as the dean of the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame since 1997. She served on the CRS Board of Directors from 2004 until 2010.
“Dr. Woo is a woman of deep faith with a strong commitment to the mission of the Church,” said Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas, chairman of the board. “She will bring exceptional abilities and gifts to the task of serving the poor around the world in the name of Catholics throughout the United States.”
