Marina co-founded the firm with Sue and is focused on the firm’s strategic direction and investment efforts. She’s been working in the industry since 1993.
To say that Marina is a natural in this business is an understatement. Our co-founder began charting stocks when she was 8 and today she remains as passionate as ever. When not combing through macro and micro economic research, Marina can be found watching or playing sports. Whether it’s high school, college or professional sports or a family game of pickup in the backyard, she loves it all.
