Prior to entering academia in 1993, he held various positions in the financial services industry. From 1977-82, he was Chief Economist and then Vice President, Strategic Planning, for the Bank of America’s Asian operations, based in Tokyo, Japan. In 1982, he established and directed the bank’s Japan-based merchant banking operations. Returning to the U.S. in 1985, he joined the Bank of Boston as Managing Director of its investment banking division and led the development of the bank’s capital markets capability. In 1989, he became President of Investors Bank & Trust, the trust and mutual funds processing subsidiary of Eaton Vance. Under his leadership, the bank acquired the mutual funds processing arm of the Bank of New England.
