Gayle Allard

Professor of Managerial Economics Gayle, a native of California, has spent most of her adult life working in Europe, especially in Spain.

Outside of the university, Gayle has worked as both a writer and an economic researcher and analyst for prestigious institutions such as JP Morgan and The Economist Intelligence Unit. She travels extensively and is fluent in Spanish, with a good working knowledge of Italian and Portuguese. She resides in Madrid with her husband and five children.
