News and Announcements

Assistant Controller Danielle Khoury has been named Controller for MIT and will assume her new position on May 16.

Danielle has worked with many sectors of the MIT community in her eight years of service to the Institute. She joined MIT in 2008 as Manager of Financial Reporting and was promoted to Assistant Controller in 2012. She has led processes of closing the books for the fiscal year and publication of the annual Report of the Treasurer, and is expert in some of the most complex areas of MIT’s finances—from endowment accounting to reporting for MIT’s growing roster of international engagements.  

“After a comprehensive search and a review of a robust field of qualified candidates, it’s evident to me that no one is better prepared and able to assume the helm of our Controllership,” said Glen Shor, Vice President for Finance, in an email to the community announcing Danielle’s promotion.

“My goals going forward are to expand our engagement with the community, to make everything we do more intuitive, and to simplify and streamline processes,” says Danielle. “I am fortunate to have so much support in this position, and to work with a talented team who strives to see issues from the community’s perspective, and solves problems at the root cause.”

Previously Danielle worked at Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) overseeing audits for many area universities, including MIT. “There was something dramatically different about auditing MIT,” she says. “People at the Institute were easy to work with, happy to help, and always open to changes that would help them do their best for MIT. I knew then that wherever I went next, I wanted to make a difference, and use my skills to solve problems through collaboration and team work. There’s no better place to do that than MIT.”

Danielle holds a BS degree in Business Administration from Stonehill College and is a CPA.
