STEWART TO LEAD DEVELOPMENT FOR STANFORD MEDICAL CENTER
STANFORD - Douglas G. Stewart will join Stanford University as the associate vice president for medical development and alumni affairs, officials announced today. In this capacity, Stewart will oversee the Office of Medical Development, which generates private gift support for Stanford’s School of Medicine and Stanford Hospital & Clinics. He will manage a staff of 45.
Stewart, 40, is currently the executive director of university development at the University of California-San Francisco and associate vice president for the UCSF Foundation. He directed UCSF’s most recent comprehensive fund-raising campaign, which surpassed its goal of $1.4 billion a year early.
“Doug is an outstanding development executive. We couldn’t be more pleased to have someone with his experience, talent and leadership assume the helm of the development efforts for the medical center,” said Philip Pizzo, MD, dean of the Stanford School of Medicine. “His most recent success with UCSF’s comprehensive campaign is a testament to his strategic fund-raising skills.”
“We are very excited to have Doug join us in this critical leadership position, working with donors who want to make meaningful contributions that help us provide the latest advances in medical care and service to patients,” added Martha Marsh, president and CEO of Stanford Hospital & Clinics.
In his extensive career in development, Stewart has also directed fund-raising activities for California State University-Fullerton, the California Academy of Mathematics and Sciences and UCLA’s neurosciences program.
John Ford, vice president for development at Stanford, welcomed Stewart’s arrival. “Doug has compiled an impressive development record in his 10 years at UCSF,” he said. “We are delighted that he will bring his experience to Stanford as we set some very ambitious fund-raising goals for the medical center.”
Stewart said he was honored to take on the position at such crucial time of growth for Stanford’s medical enterprise. “I look forward to working with the faculty and Stanford’s extraordinary volunteer leaders as we work to achieve this institution’s ambitious goals and aspirations,” he said. “I thank Dean Pizzo and Martha Marsh for their confidence in me.”
Stewart joins Stanford on Oct. 1.

and fulfillment for donors, volunteers and staff.
