Chris Lowney, formerly a Jesuit, was named a Managing Director
of J.P. Morgan & Co. while still in his thirties and
held senior positions in New York, Tokyo, Singapore and
London. He served on Morgan's Asia-Pacific, European and
Investment Banking Management Committees, accumulating
a wealth of multinational experience at a company regularly
ranked one of "America's Most Admired Companies" by
Fortune magazine.
Prior to joining J.P. Morgan, Lowney was
a Jesuit seminarian for seven years. During that time,
he taught and studied at Jesuit institutions in the U.S.
and Puerto Rico. He is a summa cum laude graduate of Fordham
University, where he also received his M.A. and was elected
to Phi Beta Kappa. He is holder of honorary Doctoral degrees
from Marymount Manhattan University and from the University
of Great Falls. Lowney serves on the Board of Directors of Nativity Middle School
and on the Board of Regents of St. Peter's College.
He lives in New York, where
he serves part-time as Special Assistant to the President of the
Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB), the leading U.S.-based Catholic
charity providing health care programs and services to people in need around
the world. He has travelled to Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, and India to help
launch CMMB's major initiatives targeted at preventing mother-to-child transmission
of HIV/AIDS.
At least twenty percent of Lowney's royalties
from the U.S. editions of his works are donated to charities providing
education and health care to impoverished children in the developing
world.
