The Architect
Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.
Greg Fleming reads as The Architect because he builds structures designed to outlast the moment. Engineering the BlackRock-Merrill transaction with precise weekend timing to exploit Lehman's isolation showed a leader who works in blueprints, not reactions. At Rockefeller Capital Management he has designed the firm around the full lifecycle of entrepreneurial wealth, institutional scaffolding that others then inhabit.
“So I'm up by five, sometimes earlier, rarely later, even on the weekends I like to get up early. Then I might take it a little slower and have coffee with the dogs. And then I bring a very organized approach to my professional life.”
“Just at the beginning Curve that's taken into this massive multibillion dollar I interviewed with a couple of firms and I got an offer from Booze. Which was a private, it's been broken up since then, but it's a private firm.”
“Yes, long only fundamental research, bottom up, strategies are here, the teams have been here for a long time. We also have serving the family office a manager selection platform with many high quality firms outside of Rockefeller.”
“Of the things I start with is independent, trusted advice, and lack of conflicts. We are a private firm. This is our whole strategy. High-end individuals and families on the private wealth and strategic advisory side, pension endowment foundation, ultra-high net worth individuals on the asset management side.”
