David Swindell was named executive director of the $8.5 billion Wyoming Retirement System, Cheyenne, spokesman Mike Bleakley said in an email.
Mr. Swindell, currently the system's deputy director, will assume his new role Aug. 1, following the retirement the previous day of the current executive director, Ruth Ryerson.
Ms. Ryerson, who announced her pending retirement in March, joined the pension fund in August 2013 after serving as executive director and chief investment officer at the $2.3 billion Fort Worth (Texas) Employees' Retirement Fund.
