WORK HISTORY
Chief of Staff to the President CEO @The University Financing Foundation, Inc. Tuff
Atlanta, GA, US
The University Financing Foundation (TUFF) is US based 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to assist Institutions of Education and Research in obtaining facilities and equipment at below market costs. The manifestation of our work is the acquisition or development of a facility, corresponding financing of that facility with tax-exempt municipal finance and ownership of a facility over a finite period of time before the facility is conveyed to the Institution. The bulk of our work is the counsel with Institutions of Education and Research regarding the options available and the unique solution a global independent 501(c)(3) can provide. TUFF has executed over $1 billion of transactions since 1982 in over 40 different financing events. Our primary focus is on space that can be collaboratively used by academia, private industry and government to promote economic development such as in Research Parks and Innovation Districts.

ABOUT TERESA SELLMAN
Joining The University Financing Foundation (TUFF) in 2022 as the Chief of Staff to the President and CEO Kevin Byrne, Teresa leverages her 28 years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience in business and people management, data analytics and fiscal control to ensure efficient delivery of TUFF\'s strategic business initiatives, from development through successful execution, under the guidance of senior leadership. Moving to London in 2011 to become Chief of Staff to the Managing Director of EMEA Infrastructure was a pivotal experience as the exposure to other cultures through travel sparked an entrepreneurial spirit for Teresa and her husband, Craig. In 2014, upon returning to the US, Teresa and Craig launched a real estate and hospitality venture called CraTerS Incorporated. The inaugural project was the renovation of a 5,500 square foot/5.5 acre B&B and event business in the Asheville area of North Carolina. From 20••••21 the Inn at Glen Alpine was recognized as the #1 property in the NC Mountains on Trip Advisor, and in 2019 MSN.com named the Inn the #1 property in all of North Carolina. Teresa has never been one to let a unique opportunity pass her by, so when the Chief of Staff role at TUFF presented itself, combining multiple passions of business and people management with real estate, Teresa and Craig packed their bags once again and moved to join the vibrant Atlanta culture. Teresa is known as a change agent responsible for defining, implementing and managing complex programs in a fast paced global environment, while providing unwavering support and accountability to senior stakeholders, clients, staff and execution teams. She is a self-motivated manager and team player with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, is detail oriented by nature, and is known for precise organizational management consistently resulting in quality delivery.
