NEW YORK – June 2, 2026 – Cresset announced today that it has appointed Mark Ostroff as Managing Director, Wealth Advisor. Ostroff will be based in Cresset’s New York office and will focus on cultivating the advisory relationships with ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, and privately held business owners that he has established over his 35-year career and help deliver integrated wealth management solutions and access to private market opportunities.
Prior to joining Cresset, Ostroff served as Managing Director of Evoke Advisors, where he advised sophisticated clients on complex investment strategies and planning. Earlier in his career, Ostroff founded and scaled multiple asset management businesses, including Graystone Partners, each focusing on manager selection, portfolio management, and direct investments.
