    Mr. Booy has spent the last several years in the investment and trading industry with Morgan Stanley and with Westrock Asset Management, a hedge fund and commodity trading advisor in Little Rock, Arkansas. His passion for trading together with his previous experiences in education management have combined to develop a unique style for communicating complex economic developments into simple and quickly-digestible concepts. His international experience and diverse educational background enable him to connect the most disparate dots into cohesive narratives that put decision-makers in a position to better identify threats to and opportunities in their businesses. Mr. Booy is a Dutch-American citizen, who was raised in Italy and educated in the United States. He is husband to Kelly and father to four wonderful kids. He holds a Technical Degree in Industrial Electronics from the Istituto Tecnico Industriale Castelli of Brescia (Italy), a B.A. in Religion & Philosophy from Lyon College (USA), and an M.B.A. from the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (The Netherlands). He's fluent in Italian, Dutch and Spanish and he's working on Portuguese and Mandarin.
