Brad Bodine has more than 30+yrs of experience in the global institutional capital markets arena, specifically capital raising, finance, trading, risk, distribution and research. He has had senior roles with Credit Suisse, Barclays Capital, Wells Fargo/Wachovia, Bonneville Real Estate Capital, and was the founder and Chairman of Cortview Capital (A Warburg Pincus portfolio company) where he effectively built a middle markets broker dealer from start-up to successful merger with what is now Pierpont Amherst (sold recently to Santander).
Brad’s product expertise includes, corporate credit, structured credit, mortgage credit, derivatives, and liquid products (including currency). He is widely acknowledged as being a leader in capital and asset raising on behalf of funders, asset managers and broker dealers.
Brad currently teaches at the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University and is a graduate of Columbia University having studied Economics under Nobel Prize winning Economist, Robert A. Mundell. He holds accreditations from FINRA (series 3, 63, 7, and 24), the Mortgage Bankers Association (AMP designation), and the National Eagle Scout Association (Life Member).
Brad devotes much of his time to his stealth project of changing the way money works for consumers and has dedicated himself to improving the lives of the un-banked, the under-banked, and the rest of us who simply don’t understand the complexities of personal finance. He recently funded and started a business in Columbus, OH which employs veterans and minorities and provides income opportunities for underemployed individuals with limited skills. In addition, he also volunteers his time with his church and has served in multiple capacities in support of welfare, service, and resource scarcity in the communities in which he lives.
Brad has lived most of his adult life in Scarsdale, NY, but now resides in Columbus, Ohio. He is married to Inga Olson Bodine (for 35yrs), has two children, Connor (Liz) and Greta (Jordan, Lt, U.S. Navy) and is most proud of his new granddaughter Blaire (Greta and Jordan).
Brad is always looking for his next adventure…
