Background

About Rob Martin

I’m an investment professional with over a decade of experience spanning public equities, private equity, and investment banking. I currently work in venture capital and private investments at Advantary, where I support the firm in due diligence on new investments.Most recently, I served as a financial analyst at Marathon Partners, a concentrated, fundamental long/short hedge fund where I analyzed and invested in companies as a generalist with a focus on consumer, TMT, and industrials sectors. My work spanned deep fundamental research with creative idea generation and raising dedicated funds to invest in new ideas.Earlier in my career, I was an Associate at Kelso & Company, where I evaluated and managed investments across consumer, financial services, and industrial sectors, working closely with management teams and boards on acquisitions, refinancings, and growth initiatives. I began my career in Citigroup’s Global Industrials Group, where I helped execute transactions such as Danaher’s $13.8B acquisition of Pall Corporation and Axalta’s $1.1B IPO and follow-ons.I’m driven by intellectual curiosity and a genuine interest in understanding how businesses work and create value. My approach combines rigorous financial modeling with a long-term, fundamental perspective, always keeping an eye toward identifying differentiated insights. I've spent most of my career working with c-suite professionals, founders, and industry experts with decades of experience. Outside of work, I enjoy golf, travel, art and art history, Formula 1, plants/gardening, baking, and supporting Notre Dame.
