Anthony Scaramucci

Born: January 06, 1964 – Port Washington, New York, United States

Anthony Scaramucci is an American financier and author whose books center on hedge funds, Wall Street, and entrepreneurship. He is known for The Little Book of Hedge Funds, Goodbye Gordon Gekko, and Hopping Over the Rabbit Hole, and for founding SkyBridge Capital and the SALT finance conference.

Biography & Author's Journey

Anthony Scaramucci came of age on Long Island in what he has described as a blue-collar, immigrant-family environment, an upbringing that shaped both his ambition and his fluency with class mobility in America. After earning a B.A. in economics from Tufts University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, he entered finance, first at Goldman Sachs and later as co-founder of Oscar Capital Management, which was sold to Neuberger Berman in 2001. In 2005 he founded SkyBridge Capital, and in 2009 he launched SALT, the conference platform that helped make him a recognizable convener across investing, technology, and politics.
