Tom Rossman has spent his career investigating
how people around the world can think and interact more effectively. As a young executive in finance, he was an early champion of emerging markets,
investing in newly emerging Latin America, China and Asian markets far ahead of
the crowd.
Following Communism's collapse, Mr. Rossman took key role at the leading
Turkish Investment Bank, Global Securities, in bringing American capital and
investment to the developing markets of the Former Soviet Union, Eastern
Europe, Turkey and North Africa. By assisting in the privatization
process, he became an important link between Western capital and know-how in
the early stages of modernizing these formerly closed economic
systems.
First as an institutional advisor, then as an independent
consultant, Mr. Rossman continued to advocate the sustainable development of democratic
and stable free market insitutions, and expanding economic opportunity
throughout the region. More recently, he has provided a similar role
to family holding companies and financial companies in the Middle East seeking
to most effectively navigate through the volatility of the current financial
crisis.
Mr. Rossman has spoken at conferences around the
world on these topics in diverse places such as London, New York, Istanbul,
Baku, Almaty, Bishkek, Tashkent, Stockholm, Washington DC and Houston and has
lived in Turkey and Kuwait. He studied religion and history at Nyack
College and did his master's work in international relations at the Fletcher
School of Law and Diplomacy.
