Prior to joining Vanguard, Mr. Gabinet was head of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Philadelphia office, responsible for the Commission’s examination and enforcement programs in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. His tenure at the SEC was marked by a number of high profile cases in the financial services area, including revenue sharing, directed brokerage, breakpoint discounts, market timing, late trading and IPO allocation, as well as cases involving broker-dealer regulation, accounting and offering frauds, Ponzi schemes, insider trading and electronic theft of nonpublic information.
Robert Jackson, Jr., is an attorney-advisor in the Office of the Assistant General Counsel at the United States Department of the Treasury, assisting the Treasury on matters related to executive compensation and corporate governance. Prior to joining the Treasury, Professor Jackson practiced in the Executive Compensation Department at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. He is currently on leave from the faculty of Columbia Law School, where his research projects emphasize the empirical study of corporate governance questions. His prior work has been the subject of rulemaking commentary before the Securities and Exchange Commission. His most recent project, developed during his tenure as a Research Fellow at the Harvard Law School Program on Corporate Governance, provides the first comprehensive study of executive compensation in firms owned by private equity investors. Professor Jackson has previously worked in investment banking, as an advisor on mergers and acquisitions, and as a consultant to financial institutions.
Rakesh Khurana teaches a doctoral seminar on Management and Markets and The Board of Directors and Corporate Governance in Harvard's MBA program. Professor Khurana's research uses a sociological perspective to focus on the processes by which elites and leaders are selected and developed. He has written extensively about the CEO labor market with a particular interest on the factors that lead to vacancies in the CEO position; the factors that affect the choice of successor; the role of market intermediaries such as executive search firms in CEO search; and the consequences of CEO succession and selection decisions for subsequent firm performance and strategic choices. His most recent book, "From Higher Aims to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession," (Princeton University Press, 2007) chronicles the evolution of management as a profession, with particular focus on the institutional development of the MBA. The book received the American Sociological Association's Max Weber Book Award in 2008 for most outstanding contribution to scholarship in the past two years. The book was also the winner of the 2007 Best Professional/Scholarly Publishing Book in Business, Finance and Management, Association of American Publishers.
Viviana Zelizer, Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University, specializes in historical analysis, economic processes, interpersonal relations, and childhood. She has published books on the development of life insurance, the changing economic and sentimental value of children, and on the place of money in social life. Her most recent book, The Purchase of Intimacy (Princeton University Press, 2005) deals with the interplay of economic activity and personal ties, especially intimate ties, both in everyday practice and in the law. It includes the formation of couples, the provision of personal care, and social relations within households.
