In this newly created role, Ostroff will be responsible for cultivating the advisory relationships with ultra-high net worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, and privately held business owners that he has established over his 35-year career, as well as helping to deliver integrated wealth management solutions and access to private market opportunities.

Prior to joining Cresset, Ostroff served as managing director of Evoke Advisors, where he advised sophisticated clients on complex investment strategies and planning. Earlier in his career, Ostroff founded and scaled multiple asset management businesses, including Graystone Partners, each focusing on manager selection, portfolio management, and direct investments. All of those businesses were successfully sold to larger institutions.

Ostroff began his career as a CPA with Price Waterhouse and later joined Goldman Sachs in wealth advisory. In addition, he held senior roles at Morgan Stanley and Kidder, Peabody & Co, leading its Asian investment banking office in Hong Kong.

“Mark brings an incredible depth of experience and an extraordinary network of relationships to Cresset. He has worked with a large number of entrepreneurs, general partners, and successful family groups across the United States. We are thrilled to welcome him to Cresset, said Paul Tramontano, executive managing director with Cresset.

“Cresset has built its reputation as a trusted partner to family offices and UHNW investors by delivering the depth and breadth of services that few other firms can,” Ostroff added.
