Mark recently changed jobs . . . no, make that changed careers. He left Clyde & Co to take a position as Vice President, Head of Public Affairs at a company called SecondMarket, which provides a platform for trading illiquid assets.
The company was started by Mark's good friend Barry about five years ago and is doing really well. Barry's accomplishments are pretty amazing. Mark's job is to serve as a liaison with the government to get SecondMarket's name out there and explain how the company operates and how it can help the government in the current financial crisis. (I know I'm not explaining this great, but I'm just learning it myself...) This is right up his alley. He loves politics, loves talking to people, and people are naturally drawn to him. I know he will do awesome in this new position. I am also so proud of him for following his heart, taking a chance, and trying something totally new. He's my hero :)I went to visit him at work the other night to check out the new digs before BLG arrives (BLG is our nickname for Lyla -- Baby Lyla Grace). The space is really large and impressive, especially considering that Barry was operating the company out of his small apartment less than five years ago. The office is located in the old Standard Oil building, which is so beautiful.
It is directly across from the famous bull monument on Broadway.
Mark's office has amazing views of the Statue of Liberty, which I miserably failed to capture during my visit.
We love Mark and are so proud of him!
