Chris Lowney, formerly a Jesuit seminarian, later served as a Managing Director of J.P. Morgan & Co in New York, Tokyo, Singapore and London until leaving the firm in 2001. He currently serves as chair-elect of the board of Catholic Health Initiatives, one of the ten largest healthcare systems in the United States, comprising more than 70 hospitals in 19 states.

His first book, Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old Company that Changed the World, was the #1 ranked bestseller of the CBPA and was named a finalist for a 2003 Book of the Year Award from ForeWord magazine. It has been translated into eleven languages.

He is also author of Heroic Living: Discover Your Purpose and Change the World, and A Vanished World: Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Medieval Spain, which was nominated for La Corónica award. Chris was featured in the PBS-aired documentary, Cities of Light, which echoed many of the book’s key themes.

He has also helped conceive and launch Jesuit Commons-Higher Education at the Margins, which offers online-enabled university education in refugee camps; and the Ignatian Camino (www.caminoignaciano.org), a pilgrim trail tracking Ignatius of Loyola’s 1522 journey to Manresa.
