Arlyn Kaster

Arlyn Kaster is a corporate benefits professional who serves as Manager, Pension Benefit Programs at Xerox Corporation. In this role Kaster is responsible for the administration and governance of Xerox's employee pension and retirement benefit plans. Aggregated professional profiles list expertise in Employee Benefits, Pensions, Benefits Administration, Deferred Compensation, and Change Management — a skill set consistent with a long tenure in corporate retirement-plan management rather than in venture or angel investing.

Educational records surfaced through professional-data aggregators indicate an academic background in business, including references to a Bachelor of Arts (Boston University) and an MBA in Business Administration from the University of Connecticut (listed as 1973–1976). These education details come from third-party data providers and should be treated as approximate.

Kaster's role at Xerox is documented in the public record: an affidavit by Arlyn Kaster was referenced in *Matthews v. Xerox Corp.*, litigation concerning the Xerox Corporation Retirement Income Guarantee Plan (RIGP). This is consistent with a senior pension-administration position in which the manager provides sworn testimony about the operation of the company's retirement plans. Around the same period, the RIGP was involved in the well-known *Berger v. RIGP* pension litigation, which reached a settlement in principle reported at roughly $239 million in late 2003.

Beyond corporate-benefits administration, no public information — no fund, no syndicate, no AngelList/Crunchbase presence, no portfolio, and no published writing or talks about startups — could be found to characterize Arlyn Kaster as a startup investor.

• No investment thesis could be located. There is no public evidence that Arlyn Kaster makes angel or venture investments, so any stated stages, check sizes, sectors, or selection criteria would be fabricated.
• The stub's "Seed Round" designation is unverified and is contradicted by the professional record, which points to corporate pension/benefits management at a large public company.
