Joined EquityCompass in 2014, launched its Global Leaders Portfolio and became CIO in March 2019; ran Legg Mason's Growth Equity Strategy for 14 years and wrote The Warren Buffett Way.

The Warren Buffett Way was the first book to reconstruct Buffett's purchases as a repeatable set of business, management, financial and valuation tests, and it set the template later Buffett books follow. Latticework and Investing: The Last Liberal Art carry the same argument into physics, biology and psychology as sources of investment models.
