Professor Biography 

Before joining the faculty at IE University more than 20 years ago, Gayle Allard began her professional trajectory as an economic and financial journalist for various channels, including The Economist, and later as a research economist for JP Morgan. During this time, she felt the need to communicate and research topics that she found important to human life, such as employment and economic development. This led her to begin teaching, which she now describes as her first love and “the best job in the world.”

Gayle teaches a variety of courses in the Master in Finance, an introductory course for the Master in Applied Economics programs at IE University, as well as many other courses outside of those programs. Her Managerial Economics course builds a foundation in micro- and macroeconomics and international economics, placing an emphasis on real-world applications in the business world. 

Gayle’s professional experience is impressive and varied, encompassing groundbreaking research into international labor policies, pioneering the innovative blended education format at IE University, and developing interactive teaching tools for her MOOCs. Gayle’s advice to students is to take advantage of every opportunity. She says that we can all become world-changers by making one quiet, ethical decision at a time.
