As part of his role as Chief Investment Officer, Joseph Sroka is the lead portfolio manager for NovaPoint Capital’s investment strategies. He believes the greatest skill that veterans can apply to the investment world and to the business world is risk management.

Prior to founding NovaPoint, Joe was a portfolio manager at investment firms such as GMT Capital and Epoch Investment Partners, worked as an equity research analyst at Merrill Lynch and ABN Amro. He is both a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a Chartered Market Technician (CMT).

Joe’s volunteer activities are focused on helping military veterans. He started the Bunker Labs Atlanta chapter and currently serves as treasurer for the U.S. Army Ranger Association.

Organized by America’s Warrior Partnership, the Warrior Community Integration Symposium is an opportunity to share best practices, find innovative solutions, and form new collaborative partnerships to better help the veterans in their communities address the work challenges they sometimes encounter when making the transition to civilian life. 

WorkingNation set up its cameras at the Symposium and interviewed the speakers and attendees about the important issue of helping veterans deal with workforce challenges. You can follow the conversation on our social media under the hashtag #WorkingNationOverheard.
