Mark S. is a Senior Managing Director, Investment Banking at A.g.p./alliance Global Partners. Colleagues describe him as "Mark has a strong understanding of the bottom-up (stock specific) and top-down (economic variables) factors that drive investment returns. While working with Mark, I learned a tremendous amount about the importance of looking at equities through both of these lenses, in order to accurately forecast earnings. Specifically, Mark has a near encyclopedic knowledge of all factors that influence the transportation industry - his specialty. Mark also has a diligent work ethic, bullet proof integrity and a friendly disposition. Accordingly, I consider it a privilege and an honor to have worked with Mark, and believe that any firm or client would be lucky to have him in their employ."
