Anyone who knows Mark knows he is a fun guy in and out of the office. His passion and deep expertise allow him to help Cohen & Company find practical ways to continually improve.
Mark currently serves as Cohen & Company’s Chief Operating Officer, providing strategic oversight regarding the firm’s most critical infrastructure departments. This includes finance, human resources and information technology, as well as leading a variety of other risk management and operational initiatives.
Prior to serving as COO, Mark spent 30 years in Cohen & Company’s Assurance Practice, where he accumulated experience in a range of industries and audit types — from mutual funds and hedge funds in the investment industry, to a variety of industries related to private companies. With a diverse client base of varying complexities and issues related to valuation, Mark also served as a consultant to investment advisers on business issues throughout the private enterprise lifecycle and advised on the Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) Custody Rule.
Mark’s an avid runner, surprising to those who know him and know that he hated running for years! Something he has always been a fan of though is Disney World, a place he and his family have traveled time and time again. Mark, his wife and their two children live in Richfield, Ohio.
