Co-Founder and Group Chief Investment Officer
Until 2020 Mark held the position of Alternative Investment Director at Morgan Stanley. During his decade tenure, Mark worked with Alternative Investment Companies like Blackstone, Apollo Global Management, and the Carlyle Group on coordinating and allocating private placements in credit, energy, and equity. In addition, he served as syndicate coordinator at Morgan Stanley for new issues, secondaries, and after-market block trades. He also served as an Executive Service Specialist and advised on Stock Option Plans and Executive Financial Programs for public companies including Apple, Dow Chemicals, United Airlines, and many other publicly listed companies.
Prior to that, Mark was Wells Fargo’s Investment Officer, where he was ranked in the top 0.3% of Advisors for Syndication and IPO.
The appreciation for transparency and accountability is deeply engrained in Mark and he considers it a key reason for his ability to understand and serve his clients’ needs so successfully. It has made Mark a systems-oriented leader. It’s the attribute that led him to develop the COVE© (Financial risk mitigation) and RISE (Environmental and ESG risk mitigation) models for managing risk in his role as CIO of RECP as well as the processes he uses to develop tailored solutions for institutional and individual clients as CEO of NVM.
Mark applies the same outcome-oriented standards to his philanthropic work. In 2002 Mark founded the S.A.F.E Community Center in Houston, an organization that worked with underprivileged and abused children in Houston, Texas. Serving thousands of people each year in collaboration with the partners like the City of Houston, Weed, and Seed Federal Program, Children at Risk, and the Children’s Assessment Center, its program usage increased by 15-30% annually.
An eternal student, Mark earned an MBA in Finance from The University of St. Thomas, Houston, a Master of Finance, Investment Management and Financial Analysis from Creighton University, a Master of Social Work from The University of Houston, and a Bachelor of Psychology (Honors Program) from the University of St. Thomas. He also holds a Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist (CRPS®) certification.
Mark currently serves on the board of the Houston Holocaust Museum. He formerly served on the board of the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Houston, on the Executive Committee for the Lombardi Award, and on the board of The Rotary Club of Houston.
