Andrew Regan

Andrew Regan started in investment banking at Merrill Lynch, serving as a financial advisor to municipal entities and directing their efforts in raising public capital in the tax-exempt debt markets. After business school, Mr. Regan became Retailing Analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin, and Jenrette in New York, where he counseled large institutional investors on their retail sector holdings. In addition to these conventional sell-side equity research duties, he was centrally engaged while at DLJ in a number of banking transactions involving merchants, including LBOs, IPOs, primary and secondary equity offerings, and private placements.

Mr. Regan returned to Harvard Business School as a Charles M. Williams Fellow and Dean’s Doctoral Award Winner. His research interests included the performance of LBOs, privatization in emerging markets, competition in the securities markets, and capital availability in the airline industry. In 1994-95 Mr. Regan served as Secretary to Professor Samuel Hayes, Warren Buffet, GE Chairman John Welch, former Merrill Lynch Chairman Daniel Tully, and other members of the Compensation Practices Committee, a blue-ribbon panel of securities industry experts appointed by SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt to look at remuneration in the retail brokerage business.

Mr. Regan provides consulting support to financial service organizations looking for organizational and staff development in the theory, practice, and products of corporate finance and financial markets. This includes both the “sell-side” process of such activity (advisory, M&A, and capital markets) as well as the concomitant “buy-side” analysis (investors and their analytical approaches).

He has delivered projects for clients in North America as well as Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Those clients include all the U.S. “Bulge Bracket” firms, as well as several Persian Gulf and Chinese financial institutions, and he has worked with private firms on a variety of financial and strategic issues. Mr. Regan has also worked with financial staff at China Petroleum and Chemical (Sinopec), the large Chinese downstream/integrated firm, on analysis and valuation.

Mr. Regan received his A.B. magna cum laude with Highest Honors in Modern European History from Harvard College in 1983, his M.Sc., with Distinction, in West European Politics from the London School of Economics in 1986, and his M.B.A., with High Honors, from HBS, where he was a George F. Baker Scholar, in 1988. He holds the CFA Charter.
