The Spring 2009 Edward Lane-Reticker Speaker Series lecture featured Marshall N. Carter, Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange and Deputy Chairman of the parent company NYSE Euronext.
Prior to the Exchange, Mr. Carter served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the State Street Bank and Trust Company, Boston, and of its holding company, State Street Corporation. During his nine years as CEO, the company grew more than six fold. Prior to joining State Street, Mr. Carter was with the Chase Manhattan Bank for 15 years, in positions related to finance, operations and global securities businesses.
A former Marine Corps officer who was awarded the Navy Cross and Purple Heart during two years’ service as an infantry officer in Vietnam, Mr. Carter served from 1975-76 as a White House Fellow at the State Department and Agency for International Development. Major projects during that year were the application of satellite technology to agricultural activities in West Africa, the use of high-level U2 photography for disaster relief activities in Guatemala and the use of sensor-surveillance equipment as a member of the project team that installed the U.S. Sinai Surveillance Mission in Israel after the 1973 Middle East War.
Mr. Carter holds a B.S. degree in civil engineering from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; (1962) an M.S. in operations research and systems analysis from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California (1970); and an M.A. in science, technology and public policy from George Washington University (1976).
The Speaker Series
The purpose of the Edward Lane-Reticker Speaker Series is to invite to Boston University School of Law prominent personalities in the fields of banking, finance, and public policy who will stimulate debate and discussion around timely topics in these fields. Leading figures in government, politics, industry, and law will be invited to deliver thoughtful lectures and their presentations will be published in the Review of Banking and Financial Law. It is anticipated that these will serve as the stimulus for additional research and lead to follow-on articles in the Review.
