LEADERSHIP Team

Nathan J. Sharp, AIF®

Co-Founder & Principal

nathan.sharp@marcado.com | 210-320-1171 | LinkedIn

With over 24 years working with retirement plans, Nathan's true passion lies in the mathematics of portfolio construction, asset allocation, and tax-saving retirement plan contribution formulas. He has helped design and manage plans with $1 billion in assets down to plans just starting out. His work includes serving retirement plans in both advisory and discretionary investment fiduciary capacities.

Having developed a love for helping clients simplify their plans (and disappointment with the industry's movement toward creating more noise and inefficiency), he launched Marcado in 2017 with an eye toward doing things differently. Nathan graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Math, and has maintained his Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) designation for over a decade.

Nathan and his wife Stacy are active members of their church and of their children’s school community in San Antonio, and they have been licensed foster parents since 2014.

ANDREW W. BRONSON, AIF®

Co-Founder & Principal

andrew.bronson@marcado.com | 210-320-1193 | LinkedIn

Andrew brings institutional investment experience to retirement plan consulting and investment management. After graduating from Vanderbilt University with a BA in Economics, Andrew went to work with the asset management company Archon Group, a fully-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, commissioned to invest on behalf of the Whitehall Street Funds. Andrew’s seven years with Archon centered on management of real estate and loan portfolios across four global offices, including a three-year stint in Bangkok, Thailand.

Impacted by what he experienced living in Thailand, he returned to Asia leading a team for the non-profit, Mission to the World. He spent seven years managing projects in support of mercy initiatives, micro-enterprise and various development projects. Along the way, Andrew earned a master’s degree from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis as well as participated in several projects in investment consulting for firms in Asia and the U.S. He continues to support the work in Thailand specifically through project consulting, and as a way to maintain his proficiency in the Thai language.

Andrew and his wife Becky have three boys and relocated to San Antonio in 2017.
