Marc Rubin
Marc has over twenty years experience investing in and helping to grow companies. He launched his investment career at Parthenon Capital, a multi-billion dollar middle market private equity fund that he joined at inception. He spent nearly a decade at the firm and helped to launch their San Francisco office. As one of the five deal quarterbacks, Marc was intimately involved in all phases of the deal process. He focused on technology-enabled and route-based businesses as well as financial and insurance services and led the execution of complicated transactions that frequently had expedited timeframes and required a rapid-close SWAT team approach. Marc also helped to bridge the investment and operating teams. He was responsible for developing and maintaining the institutional knowledge gained from the firm’s operations experiences, working to coordinate relationships with outside vendors that augment special teams capacity, and trained operating resources on value creation within private equity investing. He sat on the Board of Directors for Rackable Systems (IPO'd), Performant Financial (IPO'd), and American Wholesale (sold to New Mountain Capital).
Prior to Parthenon Capital, Marc was a Principal at The Parthenon Group, a boutique management strategy consulting firm. Here he helped firms lay out earnings enhancement and growth strategies.
More recently, Marc helped launch two investment partnerships that enjoyed a flexible mandate of being able to invest across the capital structure for both public and private companies. As a constructivist investor, Marc worked with senior executives as well as the Boards of numerous public companies to help drive value at companies that had yet to reach their full potential.
Over his career, Marc has worked with companies in a number of sectors including business and financial services, niche manufacturing, consumer products, government services, technology, education, and health care. He has successfully deployed hundreds of millions of dollars in dozens of companies.
Mr. Rubin earned a B.A. cum laude with Honors and Distinction in Economics from Colby College and an M.B.A. from Stanford Business School. Marc also worked at the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston and began his career as an Economist at a business unit of Standard & Poor's.
While most of his free time is soaked up chasing around after his three children, Marc enjoys skiing, boating, 80's movies, and playing spades. He is a Town Meeting Member in Needham, MA.
