Favorite Quote: "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future” (Steve Jobs).

He has authored many journal articles and contributed to a number of books. His work has been widely recognized internationally as one of the experts on the 2007 - 2009 global financial crisis. He has lectured about this topic at conferences and seminars; he has written some of the most read and quoted papers and he contributed to what is considered the most authoritative book on the subject (Professor Robert W. Kolb's 2010 "Lessons from the Financial Crisis: Causes, Consequences, and Our Economic Future) and to one of the best-known US-based blogs dealing with it (MIT Professor Simon Johnson and UCONN School of Law Prof. James Kwak's "The Baseline Scenario").

In November 2013 Dr. Ivo Pezzuto published the book titled "Predictable and Avoidable. Repairing Economic Dislocation and Preventing the Recurrence of Crisis" which offers business school students; academics; and industry experts in the fields of finance, risk management, audit, corporate governance, economics, and regulation, a truly independent and unbiased analysis of the financial crises starting in 2007 and one of the first fully considered expositions of the financial, governance and regulatory reforms needed for the future. Augmented with personal interviews involving selected global thought leaders and industry experts, the author's narrative focuses on the technical issues that led to the global crisis, but also addresses the human, cultural, and ethical aspects of the events from both sociological and managerial perspectives. The book exposes the root causes and contributes significantly to the debate about the change needed in the banking and finance industries and to supervisory frameworks and regulatory mechanisms. This analysis enables readers to understand that the crisis we have seen was predictable and should have been avoidable, and that a recurrence can be avoided, if lessons are learned and the right action taken.

The book "Predictable and Avoidable" has also received the following prestigious reviews:

"This insightful book written by Ivo Pezzuto, a professor of business administration and a renowned expert on the global financial crisis, gives an unbiased and fulsome analysis of the 2007 financial crisis and the global economic dislocation that followed. Dr. Pezzuto brings his work to life by augmenting its technicalities with personal interviews with industry experts and by interspersing his take on the mechanisms that contributed to the crisis with its cultural, ethical and human impact. By exposing the causes of the crisis, and putting forward ideas about the changes needed in the banking and finance industry and in the regulatory structures governing them, the author has written a valuable work of interest to academics, industry experts and students alike."
