marina@vcmi.net | 503 731 7302 | LinkedIn
Marina co-founded the firm with Sue and is focused on the firm’s strategic direction and investment efforts. She has 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 years old, and today she remains as enthusiastic about our industry 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 games or a family game of pickup in the backyard, she loves it all.
