Friend of Auren:
Mark was introduced to me by my friend Joel Hornstein, a fellow graduate of Yale Law School. Mark is currently the CEO of Gerson Lehrman Group, a company dedicated to providing research experts to hedge funds and other institutions. Mark has been a very successful entrepreneur and is a fixture in New York City's political circles.
Mark has authored In the Classroom: Dispatches from an Inner-City School That Works (Free Press, 1997) about his experiences teaching in an inner-city Catholic high-school right out of Williams College. Mark also wrote The Neoconservative Vision (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 1995) and Essential Neoconservative Reader (Addison-Wesley, 1996). He's a modern-day Ben Franklin.
Mark is a forward thinker who serves on the boards of the Manhattan Institute, Student Sponsor Partnership, the Yale Chai Society and Imentor. Even though he's extremely busy, he somehow finds the time to read three books a week!
