Stephanie Pomboy
Stephanie Pomboy is founder and president of MacroMavens, a boutique research firm that provides macroeconomic research and commentary to an exclusive swath of the institutional investment community. The firm takes an unconventional approach to economic analysis, eschewing the typical over-emphasis on short-term swings. Instead MacroMavens endeavors to identify major macro trends and to flesh-out the market risks/opportunities around them. Since its inception in 2002, the firm has earned a reputation for calling major macro developments well ahead of the curve. Stephanie was one of the few warning of the housing bubble's bust -- and a lone voice in identifying the inexorable hit to financials to follow.
The firm’s clients include the largest mutual fund institutions and macro hedge funds, who have come to rely on MacroMavens’ unique and thought-provoking brand of analysis.
Although closely guarded, Stephanie's views have been the subject of interviews in Barron's and her work has been cited in major industry publications from the Financial Times to The Wall Street Journal. She is a regular guest on Fox Business and Bloomberg TV.
Ms. Pomboy started her career at CJ Lawrence, working with Ed Hyman and Nancy Lazar. In 1991 the team left to form ISI Group where, as Managing Director, Stephanie provided timely economic analysis to the country's largest and most sophisticated investment institutions.
Stephanie earned her bachelor’s degree in economics from Dartmouth College while also competing as captain of the Tae Kwon Do team. She presently resides in New York City but spends her free time in the mountains of Colorado, where she is an avid hiker and telemark skier.
