Mark Van Note
 |
How I got here… I’m from a small town in Iowa originally. Over the past nearly 30 years I’ve worked in private banking, consulting, and marketing. A theme throughout has been helping clients succeed. That could be through better consumer insights, or creating an ecommerce group, or restructuring a global investment portfolio. A result of helping clients is that our firms grew. Several grew well enough to have liquidity events: Vicor was acquired by Fidelity Investments, Avistar is now public, and Plural was acquired by Dell. I cofounded M Squared with Mark Price in 2002. M Squared originally stood for Mark & Mark. Before, during and after helping found M Squared, I have done a fair amount of M&A, private banking, venture capital and private equity. I also am Chairman of a software firm, Vice Chairman at the Fairview Foundation, and on the advisory boards of several technology and medical device companies.
The letters behind my name: B.A. in International Relations from Stanford University. Attended business school at L’Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC Paris) in France. HEC was rated the top European business school in 2011 by the Financial Times.
