Marcus Thorne

Marcus Thorne spent fourteen years on the institutional side of the table before he ever published a word. He began in the equity research division of a London merchant bank, covering media and consumer-internet names through two full market cycles, and left as a director after building the desk's first coverage framework for what would later be called the creator economy — at a time when most analysts still filed individual internet earners under "other income." That framework, which valued audience relationships as balance-sheet assets rather than marketing outcomes, became the analytical spine of everything Celbereport publishes. CFA Charterholder · MSc Finance · 14 yrs institutional equity research · Ex-COO track, B2B SaaS (11 → 240 headcount). Based in New York / London.
