John Clerico

John brings a powerful background and expertise to ChartMark. With over 30 years of corporate finance experience, John has accomplished what few executives have by becoming one of the key decision makers at several fortune 500 companies including Praxair, Union Carbide, Conoco and Phillips Petroleum. By holding CFO positions at such high profile companies, he has a well-developed insight into identifying and valuing attractive, publicly traded securities; an insight that is essential for portfolio management and rarely, if ever, possessed by other investment advisors. In addition, working on the "opposite side" of Wall Street analysts, gives him a competitive advantage in assessing potential investor behavior relative to a given company. Furthermore, John's vast management experience places ChartMark in a superior, strategic position to that of its peers. John's focus is on day-to-day portfolio management and strategic direction for our firm. 

Mr. Clerico currently serves as Lead Director for the Board of Directors of Community Health Systems, Inc of Nashville, TN and serves as an Audit Committee Financial Expert for the Boards Audit and Compliance Committee since 2003.  Also serves as Member of Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
