Marchick marches on to Emory University

Adam Marchick (pictured) has joined the team at Emory University’s endowment, Emory Investment Management, as an investor.
Marchick’s Emory investment colleagues include four 2018 appointments: Greg Bright, investment analyst; Shenise Cox, investment operations analyst; James Edwards, co-managing director of investments and equities portfolio manager; and Matthew Werner, co-managing director of investments with responsibility for private and public equity.
The move to Emory comes after Marchick recently finished up a three-month stint as executive-in-residence with media holding company The Chernin Group.
In addition to his other duties, Marchick has invested in a personal capacity since mid-2016, amassing a 15-strong portfolio that includes converted housing developer PadSplit, affordable health insurance provider Decent and restaurant customer service provider Kea.
Marchick co-founded voice assistant application developer Alpine.ai in 2016 and had moved across with the latter’s acquisition by meditation app Headspace to become senior adviser on growth and conversation interfaces, before leaving Headspace in June this year.
Marchick’s resume also includes co-founding digital marketplace development platform Kahuna and non-profit college access support program Glow Foundation, in addition to three years dealmaking at Bain Capital Ventures from 2009 until 2012, and at Menlo Ventures from 2004 until 2007.
