Elven Riley, B.S.
Adjunct Faculty of Finance
Department of Finance
I came to Seton Hall in 2003 to design the Center for Securities Trading and Business
Analytics for the Stillman School. Subsequently I also led the teams to implement
the Sharkey Sport Polling Center, the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies and the Market
Research Center. Although most of my experience is with investment banks, I actually
began my career teaching Computer Science at Ohio University. I then moved to the
University of Illinois to work in technology research before taking a position that
led to thirty years on Wall Street. “Sell Side” firms have engaged me in managing
and restructuring the workflow and the processes of every department through the full
trade life cycle, front/middle/back office; order receipt to regulatory reporting.
Recently the radical changes to the global regulatory landscape have been the focus
of my research. I am also the advisor for undergraduate finance majors.
