During the seven years John Gallemore taught at the University of Chicago, he worked with some Nobel Prize winners and guessed which colleagues were most likely to win the prize down the road. But his love for his home state prompted him to accept an offer to return to UNC Chapel Hill this fall as an associate professor of accounting.
Gallemore is one of nine new full-time faculty members hired at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, including seven women. They all have interesting backgrounds, including Laura Sonday, who worked as a Google strategist in San Francisco and Santiago, Chile and Daniela De La Para who was a professional chess player for 12 years.
