Mortimer “Tim” Buckley, 48, was born in Boston, the child of a nurse and a surgeon. He studied economics at Boston’s Harvard University and in his final year of university considered following in his parents' footsteps and pursuing a career in medicine. But fate stepped in and he met Jack Bogle, then chairman and founder of Vanguard.
He jokes that his friends at the time thought that Vanguard was some sort of airline but Buckley became an assistant to Bogle in 1991, handling jobs such as helping the investment legend research his first book.
