JDP Leadership

FOUNDER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER | I launched JDP in October 2011 with personal capital and the backing of two families. My journey started with 10 years of business experience—first at Honeywell International, and then at an electronic security component start-up that was sold to private equity. Originally JDP was founded during the Great Recession to invest in private companies. In 2011 we pivoted to passive investing in stocks because applying the same buy-the-business mindset to public companies was both an enormous opportunity, and a perfect fit for my personality.

SENIOR ANALYST | I joined JDP in early 2017 as Senior Analyst to support on-going research around existing portfolio companies, and to manage our process of filtering information and idea-flow. My finance career began in 2007 at Merrill Lynch where I spent four years on both an Institutional Investor Ranked research team, and in investment banking. From 2011 to 2015 I worked at Citi as a transportation sell-side analyst. I was also fortunate enough to work with some of the largest value funds which took large, concentrated positions in companies they wanted to own for years.
