Roger E. Anderson ’64

Roger died March 26, 2024.

He grew up in New York City and attended Brooklyn Technical High School, where he was on the swimming and track teams and held several class offices. At Princeton, he majored in history, swam on the freshman team, played lacrosse for three years, and ate at Tower Club.

Following Princeton, he won a Fulbright to study in Sweden, where he mastered Swedish and met Kristina, his future bride. He returned to the United States and earned a law degree at Yale, married Kristina, and joined Chase Bank, which sent them to Milan for five years.

After an assignment in pre-revolutionary Iran, he and Kristina moved to Copenhagen, where Roger worked for the Danish bank Privatbanken. His next assignment was in New York City, where he managed Privatbanken’s operations for nearly 10 years before forming his own advisory firm.

While in New York, Roger was active in the American Scandinavian Foundation, served on the Martha Graham Dance Co. board and was appointed honorary consul general to the Republic of Latvia. He and Kristina ultimately moved back to Denmark, where he continued advising startup companies.

Roger was devoted to his family and lived a full and rich life. The class extends our condolences to Kristina, their children and grandchildren.
