Mr. Corigliano is a recognized leader in both the energy and investment management industries. In energy, Mark lived on offshore drilling rigs for 6 years, searching the deep waters for oil and gas. He transferred this technical knowledge of energy to investment management, where he invested over $200 million in commodity-linked private equity and designed a highly successful commodity futures investment system. He then moved on to analyzing public oil service, E&P, and alternative energy companies and trading a long/short equity portfolio peaking at $600 million. Mark teaches an MBA class on alternative energy and served as the Business Development Manager of Orbit Energy, an alternative energy company. He re-joined the DUMAC team to focus on public security investments, commodities, and structuring options trades.
