He was Tiger Management’s first college intern, joining the firm as a 19-year-old sophomore at Columbia University in December 1994. Matthew Grossman, 34, continued at Tiger as an energy analyst under macro analyst Dwight Anderson until 1999.

At SAC he worked closely with founder Steven Cohen, eventually building and managing SAC’s fundamental, long-short equity unit.
