PARTNER, DEVELOPMENT
Clarke Coole
Clarke graduated from James Madison University with a major in business management. He is a graduate of the Investment Banking Institute of New York. He began his career in 1999 having been selected into the prestigious Management Training Program within Bank of America’s Global Corporate Investment Banking Group.
Clarke transitioned from the corporate world in 2003 to work for a commercial development and acquisition family office based out of Atlanta, GA. He was responsible for developing a national development platform that ultimately developed over $150 million of retail and industrial buildings throughout the southeastern and southwestern United States.
In 2011 Clarke had the opportunity to join a startup Georgia financial firm to help build and manage its commercial real estate platform. Since the firm’s formation, the investors’ risk-based capital has more than tripled due primarily to the organic growth and management of the bank’s commercial real estate portfolio.

They are active in Kairos Church (www.kairosatlanta.org) and are supporters of The Lifegate Group, where Clarke previously served as the Chairman of the Board.
