Career

[edit]

The Yale Endowment Model used by Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT relates to Casey's non-profit service.[3][7] This includes the challenges that university endowments have in using the Yale model during times of economic uncertainty.[9] Such uncertainty includes the Trump administration's tariffs and trade wars. This also includes the Trump administration's actions against Harvard, Columbia, and UPenn over alleged civil rights violations.[3] Casey's non-profit contributions involve private equity, its lack of liquidity, and its susceptibility to liquidity crisis in times of economic uncertainty.[2][7][9] Casey has advised university endowments and foundations on these topics.[4]

During Harvard's standoff with the Trump administration, Casey has been a supporter of academic freedom at Harvard.[3][4][7] He stated that it's a perfect storm of academic freedom in the crosshairs of the Trump administration at a time that universities are vulnerable due to financial uncertainty of their endowments and private equity investments.[3]

Harvard Business School based a case study on Casey.[6] In it, he discussed his career as an executive and non-profit leader. This included the Yale Endowment Model developed at the Yale University endowment and its significance for university endowments to be managed in a diverse and inclusive manner.[6] Casey has provided advice and analysis to the United States government on these topics in testimony to the legislative and executive branches.[10] He has also been the chairman and a director of related companies and investment institutions.[11]

Casey led development of technology for non-profits at Analytic Investors and Wells Fargo acquired the company.[8][12] Wells Fargo acquired the company for its technology to expand into high-growth areas of investment management.[12][13] This included big data, machine learning, and quantitative techniques.[14]

For the Wells Fargo Championships on the PGA Tour, Casey led analysis and commentary for PGA champions.[15] These champions have included Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler.[15] Beyond the Wells Fargo Championships, Casey has done this for major PGA championships. These championships have included The Masters, U.S. Open, PGA Championship, British Open, and The Players Championship.[16]
