Marcia Page

Founder & Co-Chair, Varde Partners and Founder & CEO, MPowered Capital

Marcia founded MPowered Capital and serves as CEO. She believes the time is now to commit resources to women and other underrepresented investing talent in a more structured and disciplined way.
 
Marcia is one of a handful of women founders of a global alternative investment firm (Värde Partners) with a successful 28-year track record and a history of investing in market dislocation.
 
As Co-Founder of Värde Partners, Marcia oversaw the $14 billion global alternative investment firm’s growth ranging from raising and investing capital in dislocated opportunities, identifying talent and building investment teams across geographies, and portfolio company board representation. She served as Värde’s Co-CEO and Co-CIO until 2016 and currently serves as the firm’s Co-Executive Chair.
 
Prior to founding Värde, Marcia served as Vice President of EBF & Associates, an alternative investment firm where she managed Merced Partners, an investment partnership. Prior to EBF & Associates, she traded distressed and high-yield bonds and managed fixed-income portfolios at Cargill.
 
Marcia graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College, Minnesota with a B.A. in Economics, and received an M.B.A. from the University of Minnesota. Marcia is active on external investment committees, evaluating investment talent and asset allocations, including serving as Chair of the Investment Committee of Gustavus Adolphus College. She is on the Board of Overseers of the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota and is a member of The Committee of 200.
