Howard “Howie” Hayes

While at Dartmouth, Howie majored in economics and endured quite a few engineering classes, too. Student activities occupied a great deal of his time, as he served as a class officer sophomore and junior years, a member of the committee on standards junior year, and Treasurer of Psi Upsilon fraternity. He also rowed on the crew team freshman and sophomore years, although he found that his flamingo legs did not generate quite enough power to propel the boat.

After graduation he joined the consulting firm McKinsey & Co., where he worked as a consultant for the next decade (except for an absence to attend Harvard Business School as a member of the Class of 1990). He served as our class secretary for the first five years after graduation.

In 1996 he was bitten by "an entrepreneurial bug of some sort." Rather than doing the high tech thing, he decided to go the opposite direction. He resigned from McKinsey in 1996 to found a business in the glamorous automobile collision repair industry. When this didn't pan out as he hoped, he joined a management team that sought to execute a turnaround of Outboard Marie Corporation, manufacturer of Evinrude and Johnson outboard motors and Chris-Craft boats. Unfortunately, the turnaround effort did not work out and the company filed for bankruptcy protection. He has been looking for another opportunity since February (got any leads?!)

He married Julie Falstad in 1992. They have three sons ages 4, 6, and 7 and make their home in suburban Chicago.
