Daniel Rivetti is a seasoned finance executive and academic with over four decades of experience spanning tenured teaching, corporate finance, and board leadership. Based in San Diego, he combines a DBA in Finance with practical experience at GE's Financial Management Program and long-term roles at the University of San Diego, bringing deep expertise in advanced corporate finance and conservative cash-flow driven commercialization. He serves on multiple public and private boards, including leadership of large-scale real estate and lab-to-market ventures where he focuses on pragmatic, capital-efficient technology conversion. Complementing his finance career, he is also a hands-on software engineer with Ruby on Rails, AWS, Linux, and SQL skills—an uncommon technical layer for a finance professor and board director. His background shows a pattern of acquiring distressed or underpriced assets and steering complex projects through regulation and wind-down phases, reflecting strategic patience and operational rigor. Colleagues describe him as a practical strategist who bridges academic theory, disciplined finance, and real-world engineering capability.
