Mendillo, president and chief executive officer of Harvard Management Co., said in an interview she’s leaving to pursue personal interests and isn’t looking for another high-profile finance job. She has worked for the university’s investment arm for 21 years, including the past six at the helm of the company, which is located in Boston.
