Career

Daniel Alpert was a banker and partner at Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., before founding Westwood Capital in 1995.[6] Alpert now heads up Westwood Capital's real estate and hospitality industry practice.

Following the financial crisis of 2007–08, Alpert became a cited author on economic policy and the credit bubble.[7][8] In 2010, Alpert was a featured commentator on the story of the financial crisis of 2007–08 in the documentary film Inside Job.[9] In 2011, Alpert conceived of, and co-authored along with Nouriel Roubini, New York University Professor of Economics, and Robert Hockett, a Professor of Financial Law at Cornell University, a widely cited and debated white paper on behalf of the New America Foundation entitled The Way Forward[10] that has been credited on most sides of the macroeconomic debate with providing a clear and concise explanation of the issues that gave rise to the global financial crisis.[8][11][12] and was a precursor to his book The Age of Oversupply.

In January 2012, he was announced as a fellow of The Century Foundation.[13] In February 2018, Cornell Law School announced that Alpert would be a senior fellow in financial macroeconomics and an adjunct professor of law within the Clarke Program.[14]
