Stuart Lurie – Certified Collectibles Group
A Marvel and Star Wars aficionado since boyhood, Stuart Lurie hopes that the new year brings a return of the real live comic book convention. Those so-called comic-cons often attract tens of thousands of fans to major venues nationwide but last year mostly went virtual, if at all, what with COVID-19 being beyond the saving […]
Hooman Shahlavi – Sofinnova Investments

Beth Kinsley – Northland Investment

And that maturation process remains ongoing, with Miller’s employer, Iowa-based Cambridge Investment Group Inc. intent on maintaining its independence […]

Brock Cooper – Veterans United Home Loans
Scrolling through the social media postings on the Veterans United Home Loans page makes Brock Cooper feel good.

Teresa Bernstein – ACON Investments
In the world of investments, Teresa Bernstein says navigating high finance is a lot like swimming in open water: You must frequently look up for a landmark to guide you—or else it’s easy to veer off course or get swept away by the current. Bernstein would know. With three titles at the Washington, D.C.-based firm […]
