Advisory Board Member
Dorien Nuñez is a nationally recognized leader in institutional investment research, financial innovation, and strategic leadership whose career has spanned nearly four decades. A native of New York City, he now spends most of his time in New Orleans allowing him to bring to the 10 Million Names Advisory Board both an awareness of how important preserving history, identity and community is and a deep commitment to expanding economic and educational opportunities.
As Co-Founder, President and Director of Research of The OMNIResearch Group, Dorien has advised investment managers, pension funds, foundations, family offices, and public institutions while helping shape emerging manager programs and advancing diversity and inclusion across the financial services industry. Throughout his career, he has built bridges between business, philanthropy, education and public service, creating networks that connect leaders, institutions, and communities around shared goals.
Dorien's experience extends well beyond finance. He has served on presidential commissions, advised elected officials on economic development and pension policy, taught business and finance at the university level, and developed educational programs to help prepare generations of investment professionals and trustees in addition to exposing high school and college students to the financial and investment industry. A proud alumnus of the NYC Public School system, he is also an alumnus of St Paul's School of Concord NH, Harvard College and Harvard Business School. He remains deeply engaged with the leadership, alumni and mentorship initiatives in addition to organizations dedicated to expanding access and opportunities.
As a member of the American Ancestors Council and 10 Million Names Advisory Board, Dorien brings a lifelong passion for research, education and collaboration.
Spending years in New Orleans—a city whose history cannot be separated from the stories of enslaved and free people of African descent—has given him a personal appreciation for the importance of recovering lost names and restoring family histories. He is committed to helping 10 Million Names build the partnerships, visibility, and long-term support needed to ensure that these stories are exposed, preserved and shared for generations to come.
