Full transparency
I fully support the global transparency initiatives regarding economic ties of academics.
I hereby list the organizations who have paid me directly or indirectly (e.g., book purchases) cumulatively, more than $10,000:
JP Morgan Asset Management: Sponsored research on replication of private equity fund returns using listed equity. And paid talks.
Blackrock Investment Institute: Consulting on methods to generate capital market assumptions for private market investments.

Dutch Ministry of Finance: Reports on PE & Dutch Pension Funds.
Direct teaching contracts with an academic institution (GEC Academy, Amsterdam Institute of Finance, Erasmus university, university of Amsterdam, Kinglead, EDHEC, 2U Get Smarter, ICON training and coaching) and with a company (Natixis Investment Managers, KPMG). Note that via my employer I have directed my executive programmes including custom ones (i.e. teaching paid for by a specific company), which I do not list here as the contract is with the university.
Speaking engagements with: Mason Investment Advisory Services, Institutional Investor LLC, Gabler, Super Return, Loyens & Loeff, Picton Mahonay, KPMG (mostly Luxembourg office)
