R. Robert Goldman

Mr. Goldman has been on Wall Street for over 14 years, including 10 years as a widely respected sell-side analyst covering a wide range of industry segments.
Mr. Goldman began covering Israel and its U.S.-traded companies in 1992, and had the longest tenure of any Israeli stock research analyst outside of Israel.
Following his tenure with Chesapeake, Goldman brought his team to N.Y.-based Josephthal & Co. in 1995, and led both the Firm's Israeli Research effort and Emerging Growth Group.
Goldman hosted two highly successful Israeli Stock Conferences in New York while at Josephthal each with over 200+ attendees, including institutions, local, national, and international media.
Goldman's team authored and marketed high profile monthly, quarterly, and annual reports on Israel and Israeli companies for the Firm's institutional and retail brokers and clients worldwide.
In 1999, Goldman became a senior member of the Technology research team at U.S.
Bancorp Piper Jaffray, covering Israeli Technology and later, adding Communications Software.
Goldman was instrumental in boosting Piper Jaffray's presence in Israel, and with its institutional clients in the U.S.
and Europe.
In 2003, Goldman co-founded Banneker Capital Management Corp., a minority-owned Registered Investment Advisor firm, specializing in Small - Mid Cap Growth companies.
Though newly formed, Banneker is one of 10-15 minority firms in the entire U.S.
with expertise in this sector.
As Chief Investment Officer, Goldman has been the driving force behind the Firm's proprietary investment process, the Banneker Quad Score, which has enabled the Firm's Small-Mid Cap growth portfolio to strongly outperform its benchmark.
Banneker's portfolio has increased 50% YTD since inception while the Russell 2500 Growth has increased by 34% YTD.
