Jacob Gottlieb is someone who has had a large
impact on the development that a company like Visium Asset Management has seen.
Rising to the position of CIO of the company was a good step towards progress
for the company, mainly because of the drawbacks prevalent at this time. The
company had a run in with the law, and Gottlieb was found to be one of the few
executives at the company who remained completely clean from these accusations.
In light of this, if there was anyone who would be able to bring the company
back up to the prominent position that it was once at, it was going to be
Gottlieb.
Visium Asset Management was a company that
Gottlieb had brought up along with a few other key executives. He came from a
thorough financial background and wanted to build a company that would focus on
developments and investments within the medical sector. Gottlieb knew that is
there was something that he would be able to do; it would be to bring together
these two sectors for mutual benefit.
One of the more prominent reasons why Gottlieb
chooses to build a financial company that focused on medical investments was
because of the childhood upbringing that he had. He grew up in a household
where his mother practiced as a doctor, and his father taught economics at a
well-known university. He had early exposure to these two fields and always
knew that his career path would be something within this sector.
Gottlieb has extensive educational and
professional experience within these two fields as well. He has one degree in
finance and another in medicine. After completing both degrees, he was faced
with the hard decision of which career path would be better for him. He
ultimately chose finance, and later found a way to bring in his passion for
medicine as well.
One of the first companies that Jacob Gottlieb
worked in after attaining his degrees was at a firm known as Sanford C.
Bernstein & Co. The company was one of the leading financial investors for
companies within the healthcare sector. This was something that Gottlieb knew
that he would be good at and worked hard to excel in. He served as a portfolio
manager for several years before he moved onto work at another company known as
Balyasny Asset Management. The company operated similarly as compared to the
previous workplace, which is why it was incredibly easy for Gottlieb to
progress within this company as well. He proved to be a vital member of the
firm and soon moved onto better positions within the company. This was the last
company that Gottlieb worked at before he decided to move out and start up his
own financial company that focused on medical industries and organizations.
One of the recent ventures that Jacob Gottlieb decided to embark on was with the intention of
forming a company known as Altium Capital. This will be another one of
Gottlieb’s companies that focuses on investments within the healthcare sector.
