About Doug Garber

As the host of Pitch The PM, I debate high-conviction investment ideas with top PM\'s and Analysts. We explore the Variant View Investment Checklist and reverse engineer current positions from top PM\'s. I created Pitch The PM to explore the steps in the investment research process with like minded investors in order to optimize the process. The Variant View Investment Checklist is what I currently use to invest and is based on learnings from: 1) my decade of experience at Citadel & Millennium, 2) studying the great investors such as Buffett, Munger, Lynch, Cohen, & Greenblatt, and 3) using the latest AI tools to improve idea velocity, accuracy and conviction. I am a former senior portfolio manager at Millennium and analyst at Citadel. I was trained at Citadel by a former SAC/Point72 analyst who had worked directly with Steve Cohen before becoming a Citadel portfolio manager.During my time at Citadel’s Surveyor Capital, I ranked among the top five analysts and was the only one to receive that distinction twice, leading to my selection for PM incubation. On the Millennium platform, I founded Katahdin Capital where I built a multi-sector, multi-strategy business by recruiting and developing top talent across adjacent verticals.Before my buy-side career, I worked in sell-side equity research, where I honed his modeling and primary research skills. I am currently the chief investment officer at the Westport Alpha Group and hold a BSM and Master of Finance from Tulane University.I am a Board member at CCDC and on the Advisory Board of Diligence Capital Management (DCM).
