Biography
Daniels College of Business
Since graduating from the University of Denver, Eivind Lorgen (BSBA 1985) has been busily making his way in the world of finance. For 19 years the native Norwegian has worked at Nordea, a leading financial services group in the Nordic region and one of Europe’s biggest banks. Based in New York City, Lorgen is CEO and president of Nordea Asset Management in North America.
As chair of the Investor Advisory Group and a founding member of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Investor Advisory Board, Lorgen has been a driving force in the international effort to quantify environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment factors. SASB has established 77 industry-specific disclosure standards that make it possible for investors to make comparisons between companies.
When Lorgen studied business and finance at DU, before the business school was named for cable television pioneer Bill Daniels, he played varsity soccer and was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma. His most influential course was a travel class led by faculty members Esther Tripp (marketing) and Nancy Sampson (management). Students spent a week in the U.K. and Denmark.
In 2014, Lorgen spent a quarter at DU on sabbatical from Nordea, during which he began teaching as an adjunct professor and developing travel classes. He opened doors to Wall Street firms for Daniels students participating in the Walk Down Wall Street program and helped Professor of Finance Mac Clouse launch a similar learning trip to London and Brussels.
In Brussels, he provided introductions to politicians and lobbyists.
Lorgen serves on the Reiman School of Finance Advisory Board, which helps the school stay on top of current industry needs and anticipate future trends. In 2016, he was awarded the Reiman Distinguished Alumni Award.
