Carl Schramm, who led the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation as CEO for almost a decade, has stepped down.
In a Tuesday release, the foundation said Schramm is leaving “to return to scholarship and business.” Starting Sunday, he was replaced in the interim by foundation Trustee Benno Schmidt. The search for a permanent CEO will begin this year.
“We appreciate the valuable service of Carl Schramm and his many contributions to entrepreneurship and education,” board Chairman Tom McDonnell, who also is CEO of DST Systems Inc. (NYSE: DST), said in the release. “He has served the Kauffman Foundation longer than any former leader of the foundation and longer than almost any non-founder executive. His service has expanded the influence of the Kauffman Foundation to have a truly global impact on the appreciation and development of entrepreneurship.”
