In Memory of Stephen Everhart
June 24, 2011
This is a joint post with Todd Moss
We are saddened today with the news that our friend and colleague Stephen Everhart was killed yesterday in Baghdad. Steve was in Iraq working to introduce a new university business curriculum, part of his life’s work to expand economic opportunities around the world. We both got to know Steve while he was at OPIC where he helped to invest billions of dollars in the next generation of emerging markets. After leaving government, Steve went to the business school at the American University in Cairo, and was named Associate Dean in 2009. He had previously worked at the IFC and on Wall Street. Our condolences go out to Steve’s family and three children.
He will be remembered for his passion and his humor—and his mission.

Dr. Everhart was an incredible human being. He gave me my first shot at OPIC and opened many opportunities for me. He left a profound imprint on my views of the world. He was in irreplaceable friend and mentor and he will be greatly missed.
