Author Jack Cohen describes himself as an iconoclast executive and a “mentor capitalist” who invests intellectual and economic capital to help individuals and corporations accelerate growth. A respected management and finance professional with more than 43 years experience in commercial real estate, Jack worked at, and eventually led, Cohen Financial for 35 years, participating in a team of exceptional executives who grew the platform from producing $200 million of origination and servicing to a high water mark of $6 billion in origination and $35 billion in servicing. He also participated in the recapitalization of the firm six times between 1998 and 2013.
He founded Darkknight Ventures, LLC to lend guidance to C-suite leadership, entrepreneurs and young professionals seeking to develop superior skills, advance careers, create and manage high performance teams, grow revenue, arrange capital formation, corporate recapitalization, scaling and organization strategy.
Jack’s diverse portfolio of career initiatives includes current and previous roles as a non-executive Vice-Chairman at 3650 REIT, a board member and investor at CRESimple, Hillcrest, B+E, Ascot, Forum Real Estate Group, and Academic Approach. He currently advises ArrowMark Partners, a $24 billion investment management firm, while serving as Head of Strategy at Saluda Grade, a multibillion-dollar residential real estate asset and investment firm. His contributions to the industry have been recognized with several honors and awards including the CREFC (Commercial Real Estate Finance Council) Founder’s Award in recognition of lifetime contributions to the commercial real estate securitization industry.
With a passion to serve, Jack has several professional affiliations, including Association President of Chartered Realty Investor and Commercial Real Estate Finance Council (“CREFC”), Commercial Real Estate Finance/Multifamily Board of Governors (“COMBOG”) and has sat on the big board at Mortgage Bankers Association (“MBA”). Additionally, Jack is active with the Young Presidents’ Organization. He’s also a popular roundtable host, forum moderator and guest speaker.
Personally, Jack maintains an Airline Transport Pilot License and two Single Pilot Type Ratings for flying Light Jets. A fan of the iconoclast Batman and James Bond characters, Jack is also a second-degree black belt in Tomiki-style Aikido, a NAUI certified Scuba Diver, an active Crossfitter, and loves rock climbing. He earned a Master’s Degree in Construction Management from Stanford University. He is based in Aspen, Colorado where he is married to Nancy. Jack has three sons and a daughter, Wyatt, Alec (married to Niki) and Jared (married to Rachel) along with Lindsay (married to Brandon). Jack also has three new grandchildren (Jude Morrison Cohen, Brylee Grace Richter, and Bella Clare Abrams).
What They’re Saying
What They’re Saying
“Being more than conversant with this field, I can safely state The Freedom Frameworks joins a very crowded party with an impressive guest list of thought leaders. You need only to walk through any airport terminal to spot dozens of kiosks with the latest New York Times best sellers promoting get-ahead strategies to climb the proverbial corporate ladder. From Spencer Johnson’s classic Who Moved My Cheese? to Marshall Goldsmith’s best seller What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, there is no shortage of career self-help books.
Thankfully, The Freedom Frameworks breathes new life into this genre and makes its own unique contribution. The “empirical evidence” stems from forty-three years of his impressive career as a maverick in commercial real estate finance, supplemented by his role as a father and husband. The lessons he imparts were hard won. And while the book title is paid off through charming self-effacing stories, rich metaphors, practical tips, and reflection to wrap up each chapter, the subtitle hints at the most potent message: achieving career independence on your own terms. Imagine the infinite possibilities.“
— Dr. Aleen Bayard, CEO/Founder of Transformative Consulting (aleenbayard.com)
