You’ve probably been told faculty are either ivory-tower theorists or market
operators who won’t share their playbook. The reality here is more complicated.
This team blends academic rigour with blunt, crisis-tested insight. They’ve
defended positions in boardrooms, argued with regulators, and helped teams
rebuild after shocks. You’ll meet people who know how institutional rules
break—because they’ve broken them, fixed them, and written the after-action
reports.
Don’t expect platitudes. Sessions are run by people who challenge easy answers,
dissect failed models, and expect you to question them. Each brings experience
from multiple markets, with roles ranging from quantitative research to
operational risk management. Faculty backgrounds include research, consulting,
and executive decision-making—each with a different scar and story.
Read on to see how each faculty member combines theory with scars from past market
events.
