Marc Fasteau is the founder and has served as chairman of the American Strategic Insurance Group, a property & casualty insurer with approximately $1.1 billion in premium operating in 26 states. The holding company for the Group, Arx Holding Corp, and its shareholders, have entered into a definitive agreement, expected to close in April 2015, to sell a majority interest in Arx to Progressive Corporation (PGR:NYSE). Fasteau is a partner and investor in Fulcrum Partners, LLC, a developer and manager of small, high design luxury hotels. Fulcrum owns and operates le sereno hotel in St Barths and is building a new hotel on Lake Como, Italy in the town of Torno. Fasteau was an investment banker in New York for 14 years, and served as a Managing Director and partner at Dillon Read & Co. From 1979-81, Fasteau served as Staff Director and Counsel to the Rockefeller Foundation funded Study Commission on US Policy Toward South Africa. The Commission produced ''South Africa: Time Running Out'', a book-length report with policy recommendations for the federal government, US corporations and US non-profit entities. From 1963-66, Fasteau served on the professional staffs of the US House of Representatives Banking & Currency Committee (now the Committee on Financial Services), US Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and the Joint Economic Committee. He is the author of ''The Male Machine'' (1974). The book argues that the overly macho, John Wayne idea of masculinity is destructive in both personal and public life. It makes the case specifically that the US remained in the Vietnam War longer than it otherwise would because this paradigm led US leaders to fail to examine and overestimate the international and domestic political costs of losing the war. He is a graduate of Harvard College (1963) and Harvard Law School (magna cum laude 1969) where he was an editor of the Law Review. He is a member of the board of the Coalition for A Prosperous America, an organization dedicated to reforming US trade and industrial policy to restore and revitalize American manufacturing. He is married to Anne Gerard Fredericks, an artist, art historian and former Wall Street professional specializing in the Japanese stock market and other non-US equity markets. == Further reading == * ''The Male Machine'', ISBN 0-07-019985-X 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marc Feigen Fasteau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
