Thanh Nguyen
I have been continuously teaching at a university and college setting since 2007 beginning at Brown University located in Providence, Rhode Island. Other institutions where I have had the pleasure of teaching undergraduate and graduate business & enterprise courses (e.g., corporate governance, investment management, the neuroscience of business, venture capital and private equity–just to name a few), economics courses (e.g., industrial organizations; law & economics; and financial economics–just to name a few), and public policy courses (e.g., state and local financial management, nonprofit finance and budgeting, economic development–just to name a few) include Johns Hopkins University, University of Chicago, Wesleyan University, and the University of Vermont. Simultaneously, I have more than 26 years of experience in finance (e.g., investment banking and credit restructuring), investments (portfolio manager), and the nonprofit/public sector (executive).
Currently, I am on the board of the UAFRS (Uniform Adjusted Financial Reporting Standards) Council which is an alternative set of standards for reviewing and analyzing financial statements aimed at creating more reliable and comparable reports of corporate financial activity. Concurrently, I serve as the Research Coordinator (beginning in 2011) for the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Initiative System nestled at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital located in Boston, MA (which is one of the largest rehabilitation facilities in the United States and is the official teaching partner of the Harvard Medical School).
