Education and Professional Credentials

Dr. Harrison's academic foundation and professional certifications reflect a deep commitment to the discipline of commercial banking and corporate treasury management.

The Wharton School — MBA in Finance

Dr. Michael Harrison earned his Master of Business Administration in Finance from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, one of the world's preeminent business schools and the oldest collegiate school of business in the United States. His concentration in corporate finance and banking provided a rigorous analytical framework for evaluating capital markets, credit risk, liquidity management, and the regulatory environment that governs US financial institutions.

At Wharton, Dr. Harrison focused his research on the operational efficiency of commercial banking platforms, specifically how digital transformation in payment processing — from paper-based wire instructions to real-time electronic authorization — reduces settlement risk and improves working capital utilization for corporate treasury operations. This research directly informed his later work on the Corporate Connect platform.

Certified Treasury Professional (CTP)

Dr. Harrison holds the Certified Treasury Professional designation from the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP), the premier credential for practitioners in corporate treasury, cash management, and financial operations. The CTP certification requires demonstrated proficiency in cash and liquidity management, capital markets, corporate finance, payments and collections, financial risk management, and the technology platforms that support treasury operations.

The CTP credential is maintained through continuing professional education requirements that ensure credential holders remain current with evolving payment technologies, regulatory changes, and industry best practices. Dr. Harrison's CTP expertise directly supports his analysis of Corporate Connect's treasury management module, including zero-balance account structures, automated sweep configurations, and liquidity forecasting capabilities.
