The Friezo Family Foundation Endowed London Scholarship Fund

Michael P. Friezo, London Fall '82, and David C. Friezo, London Spring '85, both studied on IES Abroad London programs while attending college. Mike majored in economics at Texas Christian University. He remembers well and highly values his opportunity to study with IES Abroad London at the London School of Economics, and the impact it has had on his career in investment banking and capital markets. He is now retired. Dave attended Tulane University and recalls learning firsthand about foreign currency trading with IES Abroad classmates as they traveled to various other European countries during their semester abroad. Over his career, Dave has worked in finance in London, Tokyo and New York, and now heads up the Lydian Advisory Group (LAG), a private wealth advisory boutique that works with institutions and ultra-high net worth family offices structuring solutions for more tax efficient investing. The Friezo Family Foundation improves the lives of children by providing support to charitable organizations that promote education, and seeks to eradicate disease and address poverty.
