Rich is the Co-Founder and Co-CIO of Cinctive Capital Management. His career in the investment management industry spans more than 30 years. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Economics and remains a dedicated philanthropic supporter of Michigan’s school of education and athletic programs. He also serves as President of “A Little Hope,” a nonprofit focused on childhood grief counseling and bereavement support.
Rich started consistently practicing yoga and meditation over five years ago, and began with classes once per week, and gradually increased the frequency due to the significant benefits he felt in body and mind. The pandemic conditions opened the possibilities of much more frequent practices through virtual instruction. The integration of breath, movement, and mindfulness during the day quickly became essential to him by drastically reducing stress and improving professional presence. That is what inspired Rich to bring the benefits of this method to other professionals and organizations.
