Purdue Profiles: Brian E. Edelman

When Brian E. Edelman retired from Eli Lilly and Co. in early 2015, he planned to travel the world with his wife, Kate. Then the Purdue Research Foundation called and this Boilermaker answered. Limiting his worldly travels to one month, Edelman joined Purdue Research Foundation in March 2015 as chief financial officer and treasurer. He was promoted to chief operating officer a year later. His responsibilities include overseeing the foundation’s $3.5 billion endowment, Purdue Research Park network and other foundation real estate holdings and initiatives to support Purdue.
