Iona College alumnus and Nasdaq Stock Market CEO Robert Greifeld ’79 assumed leadership of Nasdaq in 2003, when the company’s primary business was operating one equity market in the United States. Today, Nasdaq is a leading participant in the exchange and technology sector, delivering trading, listing, intelligence and public company services across six continents.
During his tenure, Mr. Greifeld has led Nasdaq through a series of complex, innovative acquisitions that have extended the company’s footprint across the world, spanning all asset classes. Nasdaq owns and operates 26 markets, one clearing house and five central securities depositories across the U.S. and Europe. In January 2009, Nasdaq was named “Company of the Year” by Forbes magazine, one of many such recognitions.
Mr. Greifeld has been a strong advocate for modernizing exchanges and financial regulation to keep America’s capital markets competitive. He has called for CEOs to embrace sound, modern regulation, as consistent with strong business practices.
Prior to joining Nasdaq, Mr. Greifeld was an executive vice president at SunGard Data Systems, where he was responsible for all of SunGard’s sell-side businesses and its buy-side transaction routing businesses. Mr. Greifeld joined SunGard in 1999 through SunGard’s acquisition of Automated Securities Clearance, Inc. (ASC). From 1991 to 1999, Mr. Greifeld was the president and chief operating officer at ASC.
He is chairman of the USA Track and Field Foundation, which supports emerging athletes and inner-city youth athletics, and a member of the Business Roundtable and the Partnership for New York City, an organization devoted to enhancing the local economy.
Mr. Greifeld majored in English while studying at Iona. He and his wife, Julia, both of whom graduated from Iona, were honored at the College’s 49th Annual Trustee Award Dinner in May 2010. Mr. and Mrs. Greifeld remain active supporters of the College, with Mrs. Greifeld currently serving as a member of Iona’s Board of Trustees.
For his leadership in the field of finance, his contributions to ethical international securities trading, and his involvement in civic and athletic organizations in New York City and nationally, Iona College hereby confers upon ROBERT GREIFELD the degree Doctor of Business Administration, honoris causa.

Thy name where’er we be.

Abroad we spread thy fame;
Throughout the world we praise thee,
Proud to bear thy name.

To praise thee evermore.
