Mr. Schreier oversees the Inspired Leadership Initiative at the University of Notre Dame where since 2016 he works with the leadership, faculty, and staff to develop a distinctive program for accomplished leaders who have completed their traditional careers and are looking to pivot to become an even greater force for good.

Mr. Schreir's career began at Northwest Airlines in 1988 as director of finance. He rose to the position of vice president of finance, where he was responsible for corporate finance, pension oversight, cash management, and other related areas. From Northwest, he went to Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) in New York, where he became a top-ranked senior equity analyst covering the global airline industry.

Following his time at CSFB, Mr. Schreier had the opportunity to oversee all of the equity research and become a member of the management committee at Piper Jaffray, where he was a key member of the team that brought the firm’s equity business to national prominence. He was then asked and agreed to lead the turnaround of Piper’s asset management as its CEO and president. When Piper was sold by U.S. Bank, the asset management business remained at US Bank and was rebranded under his leadership to FAF Advisors/First American Funds. During this period, the firm grew to over $100 billion in assets under management.
