Anne DeSchryver, JD

Anne is currently one of the two executive directors of business operations in the Department of Anesthesiology. She earned a bachelor’s degree from WashU and attended law school at SLU before starting her career in book publishing on the east coast. Anne then moved into philanthropy, where she spent almost seven years with the WashU Medicine Advancement team before shifting to the grant side of funding as the director of research and graduate education at SLU’s College of Public Health and Social Justice. Anne returned to WashU Medicine in 2013 as the director of research and business administration for 10 years prior to her current role. 

Outside of work, Anne loves spending time with family and friends, volunteering with several nonprofits around town, cooking, gardening, reading, and working on her 100-year-old house. She is also a music fanatic and tries to attend as many concerts as humanly possible.

Fun fact: Anne has ghost written several coffee table books and has seen Ben Folds perform live more than 40 times.
