Practical Experience:

Irene Campbell is a New York Institute of Finance faculty member who specialises in Capital Markets. She has developed a range of courses focusing on technical aspects of the capital markets and on the skills required to sell financial products and manage people in financial institutions. Her training portfolio covers the core financial markets: foreign exchange, money markets, equity and long-term debt as well as their derivatives.

Irene began her banking career with JP Morgan in 1986. After a six month global finance programme in New York, she returned to London to work in Morgan’s Treasury, managing a range of short and longer term cash and derivative instruments. Based on the sterling desk, the bank’s main source of market information and analysis, Irene was a proprietary trader who also marketed Morgan’s sterling products to a range of corporate clients.

In 1989, Irene began work with Save the Children Fund, one of the UK’s foremost charities, as Corporate Fund-raising Executive. There, she managed and initiated corporate relationships with senior personnel in London’s financial institutions and promoted the UK’s first charitable credit card. Irene planned and launched the highly successful “Children in Cities” campaign, raising over £1 million in donations from City institutions.
