| Background |
| Education: | BA, Marquette University; PhD, The Union Institute |
| Profile: | Professor Falvey began a career in the financial community in the Midwest as a Registered Representative, but was soon invited to become the Chief Operating Officer of a Washington, D.C. based trade association that represented interests of the securities industry before Congress and regulatory agencies. During these years I also attended and completed Wharton School’s Executive Development Program in Investment Banking.
Toward the end of the ten years spent in Washington I accepted a one-year White House Appointment as Director of Investments and Finance of a hybrid government-sponsored entity that was transitioning to semi-private sector. Managed $2 billion start-up portfolio. Designed and commenced a bond issuing program for funding entity’s early role. This was a defining career event offering insights into how government functions – and not. As this one year appointment was coming to end, I was asked to come to New York City to manage Bank of America’s Wall Street investment banking operation, which required underwriting securities issues, supervising an institutional sales team, and funding the asset side of bank’s balance sheet in the money markets - both domestically and offshore. This last task required my covering OPEC’s central banks’ and their accumulation of petrodollars, which later informed my dissertation topic on use of debt-equity swaps by multinational corporations to help resolve developing economies’ sovereign debt crisis. Thus, I am a dedicated central bank watcher and multinational corporation commentator. Now it’s the late 80’s. Children are raised and paid for, and the last one out the door took the dog. Decided it was time for me to pursue a doctoral degree and to seek new career as a professor. Kept cash flow positive during doctoral study years by conducting broker v broker and customer v broker arbitration cases, while sitting as industry expert, for the New York Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers. Next, academic life. I have been teaching across business schools’ curriculums since ’92. At graduate level, these courses: Investments, International Trade, International Finance, Marketing, Global Management Strategy, International Negotiations, Entrepreneurship, and Organizational Behavior. At undergraduate level, these courses: Applied Economics, Business Ethics, Management, Business Law, Corporate Finance, Money & Banking, Managerial Accounting, and (perhaps my signature course) International Business. I have ongoing interests in: 1) emergence and progression of the European Union, its currency, and activities of the European Central Bank; 2) multinational corporations as effective agents of change. Have been on lecture circuit about events in these two areas. Have lectured in Russia on its transition from command economy to market economy. Bias: pursuit of a holistic and an integrated approach to the business school curriculum. Weakness: love affair with a 50 + year old UK built 12 meter sailing vessel. |
