Dream Exchange Celebrates Dr. Ioannis Floros's New Role
Dream Exchange is thrilled to announce the appointment of Dr. Ioannis (Yianni) Floros as the Hans G. Storr Associate Professor in Finance at the Lubar College of Business at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM). This significant achievement underscores Dr. Floros's invaluable contributions to academia, research expertise, and innovative leadership in the field of finance.
Contributions to the Dream Exchange
Since the start of Dream Exchange, Dr. Floros has played a crucial role as the Director of Research, shaping the intellectual and regulatory foundation of the company. He has focused on addressing the funding challenges faced by small and mid-cap businesses, especially those led by entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds.
Founder and CEO of Dream Exchange, Joe Cecala, shared, "Yianni's insights and contributions have been pivotal in our journey from the very beginning. His new academic position is not merely a personal achievement but a widespread recognition of his extensive knowledge and commitment to the field of finance."
A Collaborative Journey
The collaboration between Dr. Floros and Mr. Cecala began in 2012 during their time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Small Cap Capital Formation Task Force. Their shared vision for tackling the unique challenges faced by small enterprises in the U.S. capital markets led to a partnership that has flourished over the years. Together, they have engaged in numerous research initiatives and academic publications that support the mission of Dream Exchange—enhancing public market access for small and mid-cap companies.
Dr. Floros's work over the past decade has been instrumental, as he has developed essential strategies, authored impactful research, and constructed frameworks that enhance engagement with less visible markets. His contributions are central to Dream Exchange's strategic direction, and his standing as an academic authority in finance continues to grow.
Transforming Market Access
Dr. Floros commented, "Our mission transcends merely facilitating market entry; we aim to democratize access to capital and opportunities. My academic appointment symbolizes the commitment I've pursued at Dream Exchange—applying rigorous research to achieve real-world results."
Ongoing Collaboration with UWM
Dream Exchange and UWM have established a strong partnership, engaging in various university initiatives and programs that reflect a commitment to entrepreneurship, equity, and economic empowerment. This enduring relationship enhances both entities' impact on the community and market.
Mr. Cecala remarked, "Our accomplishments illustrate our collective vision. Yianni's advancement signifies substantial progress for everyone dedicated to making financial markets accessible to all types of businesses."
