“I’ve known Marc for 20 years. He was instrumental to building the foundation at Cinctive, starting with us before Day 1. As our Director of Research, he created the systems and processes we used to recruit and develop talent, manage our firm’s resources including alternative data and street relationships and he worked closely with our analysts and PMs to improve their idea generation and fundamental investment process. He is focused on creating and using data to make informed decisions about people and process and kept us ahead of the curve technologically. “
— Larry Sapanski. Co-Founder and CIO, Cinctive Capital
“Marc has been a friend and mentor to me for the last decade and has played an important role in my development as an investor. He's great at approaching problems from unique and unbiased vantage points, with a particular knack for using data to drive optimal decision-making processes. He also possesses a mix of humor and humility that is uncommon to find in this industry, which helps him to enable change.”
Michael Miller, Portfolio Manager.
“I have known Marc for nearly 25 years - he has been a boss, a trusted mentor, a life coach and most importantly, a valued friend. I have worked for many different people over my career, and Marc’s approach to training and development is unique in that he seeks to maximize long term vs. short term outcomes. When I was struggling with a difficult career choice that was going to put his own franchise in a short-term position of weakness, Marc counseled me like an older brother, not a boss, and acted as a strong supporter of mine to find a role that better suited my own strengths within the firm. His advocacy resulted in incredible things for me both professionally and personally. Marc is both a gifted communicator and very relatable which allows him to effectively collaborate with groups and get the best out of teams.”
— Craig Bench, Co-President, Candlestick Capital
“Marc has been a mentor, counselor, and friend for over 25 years. I learned a great deal from him during the early years of my career. His secret superpower is identifying an individual investor’s strengths and cultivating them to the fullest. He has always been a big proponent of rolling up one’s sleeves to uncover data points from unlikely sources. He taught me that creativity is just as important as strong excel skills. Marc is a rare gem within the industry. Insightful, thoughtful but combined with a healthy dose of humility.”
— Tatiana Pohotsky, Chief Investment Officer, The New York Community Trust
“I had the pleasure of working with Marc at Deutsche Bank. He was a star sell-side research analyst covering the Beverage & Tobacco sectors for a decade. He did all the important things well - modeling, writing, and communicating his views. But his incisive thinking set him apart. His ability to analyze data, understand companies and industries, and clearly communicate it to clients was special. He was also a leader in the department, mentoring our junior staff and relaying best practices to develop their skill sets, helping them grow into larger roles.”
