A 1986 MBA graduate from the University of Chicago, Drennan served as director of financial markets at McDonald’s Corp.; first vice president and director of long-term funding for Merrill Lynch & Co.; and managing director of First Chicago Trading Consultants before joining Alliance Capital Management in 1995.

“Anne Drennan’s insights as a business leader and distinguished DePaul School of Accountancy graduate are welcome additions to the board of trustees,” said Edward A. Brennan, chairman of DePaul’s Board of Trustees.

Drennan said: “DePaul’s caring environment that fosters student development, a strong network of faculty and administration professionals and a growing reputation for excellence helped shape my business career. I welcome the opportunity to expand my work on behalf of the university with fellow trustees to further advance DePaul’s leadership position in higher education.”
