Ted Aronson
Ted Aronson founded Aronson+Johnson+Ortiz (formerly Aronson+Partners; before that, Aronson+Fogler) in 1984. While still a graduate student, Ted joined Drexel Burnham Investment Advisors, where he was a member of its Quantitative Equities Group. This group managed the Revere Fund, the first active SEC-registered fund to employ MPT. Prior to forming AJO, he founded Addison Capital. Ted was chair of the CFA Institute (formerly AIMR) and is both a CFA charterholder and a Chartered Investment Counselor. He is a trustee of Spelman College and on its investment committee. He was a Lecturer in Finance at The Wharton School. Ted is involved with portfolio management, administration, and marketing.
David Dye’s distinguished career in broadcasting spans three decades. He got his start in commercial radio as the host of a progressive music show on Philadelphia’s WMMR 93.3FM. After a five-year stint programming radio stations in Maine, he came back to Philadelphia, managed a local band, and was recruited by an upcoming alternative rock station called WIOQ 102.1 FM in 1981. WIOQ changed formats in 1989, so Dye continued on his musical quest. Later that same year, Dye volunteered at WXPN hosting its Sleepy Hollow radio program.
In 1991, Dye was asked to spearhead research to determine the viability of a new public radio program funded by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. World Cafe was born. Dye has served as the host of this nationally acclaimed show, now syndicated on more than 200 public radio stations across the United States. With more than 3,000 interviews under his belt, Dye has spoken to musical legends such as Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, and to a new generation of artists including David Gray, Sheryl Crow, Beck and Dave Matthews, among others. World Cafe and Dye have received numerous awards including: NFCB Gold Reel Awards, Album Network’s "Best Triple A Air Talent," Philadelphia Magazine’s "Best Local Radio Host" and more.
