Beth Villaume

Beth is the controller for the Bush Foundation and is turning the page on her time at Bush. Through December, she is helping transition work to Bush’s new controller, Matt Stowell.

Beth joined Bush in 2008. She continues to be a clear and consistent voice for careful stewardship of Bush finances—developing processes that are consistently transparent, strategic, inclusive and meaningful.

Here’s what Jen Ford Reedy, president, had to say about Beth’s impact through the years:

“Beth has brought more humor and more passion to the role of controller than any of you can probably imagine—unless you were fortunate enough to work with her! She has cared about everything and everyone at Bush in her time working here, taking the mission and the values so seriously—even as she operates with great joy. She has served the foundation so, so well.”

Born in Illinois, Beth also lived in Iowa and Texas prior to making Minnesota her home. She and her husband John love traveling, biking, hiking, gardening and spending time with family and friends.
