Before becoming CEO of $79 billion Wall Street giant Apollo, Marc Rowan worked at a party store, valet lot, and ‘the best kosher caterer’
Just like other CEOs, Marc Rowan, the cofounder of Apollo Global Management, says “you have to take something away from” ordinary jobs.
Before becoming the CEO of a $79 billion Wall Street empire, Marc Rowan, the founder and CEO of Apollo Global Management, had a diverse range of jobs in hospitality and retail. In a recent interview, Rowan shared that he had worked as a valet parker at the Diplomat Hotel, which is now the Shell Bay Golf Club, and transported cars for "snowbirds" between New York and Florida.
He also worked at a party goods store and "the best kosher caterer" in South Florida. Rowan, who grew up in Florida and New York, attended high school in Hollywood, Florida. Despite the low federal minimum wage of $3.10 per hour during his early working years, Rowan credits these experiences for shaping his work ethic and mindset.
