AMONG THE ACADEME: RESEARCH AND THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
On April 16, CGL welcomed Greg Mancini ’95 VSB as a CGL Distinguished Visiting Alumnus. Mr. Mancini is a portfolio manager with Dabroes Management, L.P. in New York City, a hedge fund founded by brothers Abe and Jack Eisenstadt, who were former managers with Caxton Associates and SAC Capital Advisors. Mr. Mancini has been with Dabroes since 2008 when the Eisenstadt brothers founded the firm. Prior to Dabroes Management, Mr. Mancini worked for Caxton Associates, joining the New York-based investment firm in late 2006. Previously, he worked for Deutsche Bank in New York, where he was a director in its Global Equities division, and also served as a vice president. He also held accounting positions with HSBC, and was previously a vice president with JPMorgan Chase. In this latter capacity, Greg lived in both London and Munich, during which time he was seconded and worked for the CFO of Allianz, the large, multinational financial services firm.
CGL HOSTS DISTINGUISHED VISITING ALUMNUS
While on campus, Mr. Mancini had an opportunity to meet with VSB leadership and was a guest lecturer in Professor Erasmus Kersting’s International Macroeconomics class. At a roundtable luncheon with VSB faculty and staff, Mancini shared his views on the Euro crisis, prospects for European economic recovery, the role of the European Central Bank and national governments in that process, and the opportunities for investing in companies that may be undervalued due to the overall negative sentiment about the European region.
