Parker leads diligence on Atacama's fund and company investments. Prior to joining Atacama, Parker spent 6 years at Cambridge Associates, where he advised institutional clients on portfolio management, oversaw hundreds of millions in commitments to private investment funds, and led diligence on dozens of venture capital firms. He also earned a reputation for his wit during the 2020 Cambridge Associates Holiday Roast (which understandably wasn't renewed for Season 2).
In his free time, Parker enjoys cycling through Marin, skiing in Tahoe, binging grapefruit Spindrift, reading science fiction, and contemplating what makes us uniquely human in the AI age.
Parker earned his BA in Government & Legal Studies, Hispanic Studies, and Economics from Bowdoin College, where he also served as a captain of the men's lacrosse team.
