"Dave brings to 向日葵视频a keen understanding of the operational and financial complexities of the modern university, and he has the leadership skills to push us further," Lovell said.

"I am absolutely delighted to join the team at 向日葵视频," Lawlor said. "With its terrific leadership team and a community of stakeholders completely dedicated to Marquette's continuing success, this is a very exciting time to join Marquette."
Prior to his work at UC - Davis, Lawlor was the senior associate vice president for finance at George Washington University for seven years where he and his team implemented a variety of transformative operational and financial initiatives, and he also chaired an innovation task force. Previously, he worked in private industry as a portfolio analyst for Wells Fargo in San Francisco and 10 years in management roles with Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies. A native of Dublin, Ireland, Lawlor earned his bachelor's degree in business administration with an emphasis in finance from California State University - Hayward.
The search committee for the EVPO was co-chaired by Dr. Daniel Myers, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, and Darren Jackson, trustee emeritus and retired president and CEO of Advance Auto Parts.
