Jim Owen

Jim Owen is a 35-year veteran of Wall Street and author of Cowboy Ethics: What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West. Jim capped a nearly 40-year career as an investment management executive and author by launching a second career as an “ethics activist” based on his belief that Wall Street and the world would be better off if everyone lived by the ethical code of cowboys.
