Scacco will leave TigerShark Management, a hedge fund in New York City where he was chief operating officer and senior analyst, and succeed Thomas Guarino, who retired from HVIA last year.

Before delving into the banking world, Scacco attended Adelphi University, where he was recruited by the Reds. He later earned his master”™s degree from Hofstra University, and has previously worked for Chemical Banking, AllCap Growth Assessment Management and in Morgan Stanley”™s asset management division.
