Richard McGinity is the Bill Daniels Distinguished Professor of Business Ethics at the University of Wyoming, and in charge of a statewide business ethics initiative. Earlier he was a partner in a Boston-based venture capital fund until starting his own investment banking firm, which serves primarily private firms whose owners seek growth, capital, acquisitions or exit.
He has served on the boards of numerous privately-owned and publicly traded companies, most recently Canada Southern Petroleum Ltd., where as Chairman he led that company's successful defense against a hostile takeover attempt by Petro-Canada.
He brings this perspective to life in the classroom and in the College's outreach efforts.
Dr. McGinity is a founder and Board Chair of Building the Wyoming We Want, an NGO dedicated to making sustainability a fundamental consideration in Wyoming's economic development. A licensed wilderness guide, he is committed to helping preserve the history and natural beauty of Wyoming.
