Claire Thornhill

Claire hails from Killavullen in County Cork, a small village of just 250 people but with a claim to fame of being the ancestral home of the Hennessy brandy family. Growing up in Ireland, Claire developed her love of the great outdoors early, hiking and biking the mountains around her home, usually in the rain. On a gap year spent bartending in Toronto, Claire fell for the city and eventually swapped the Irish rain for the Canadian winter in January 2013. Before joining EdgePoint, Claire worked as an analyst at CI Financial Corp. She earned both her BBS in Economics & Finance and MSc in Finance from the University of Limerick, and is a CFA charterholder. Claire has been an EdgePoint partner for 5.8 years.

Out in Scarborough, born and raised, in a playground is where Steven spent most of his days. Usually chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, and shooting some b-ball (and playing soccer) outside of his school. Basketball, specifically fantasy basketball helped get him into investing when he saw the benefit of finding hidden value in certain players. Steven’s hard work paid off at only 13 when he finished in the top percentile on NBA.com Fantasy Basketball. Internally, we're worried about his dominating our company leagues, but we're sure that he'll be reading more annual reports and prospectuses than when he was a teenager. Before joining EdgePoint as one of our freshest members, Steven worked in Los Angeles as an associate at Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and an investment banking analyst at Moelis & Company. He earned his HBA from the Ivey Business School at Western University and is a CFA charterholder. Steven has been an EdgePoint partner for 5.8 years.

Born in Victoria, B.C. and having lived for ten years in Singapore, it’s no surprise that Jason spent a large part of his younger years as a competitive sailor. Jason eventually left the high seas and found inland challenges both vertical (rock climbing) and horizontal (running races like the Boston Marathon). Before joining EdgePoint to lead private investments, he was a senior director at Tim Hortons and was the head of Media, and the head of Financial Planning & Analysis. Prior to that, Jason worked at Finepoint Capital in Boston, where he invested across the capital structure in public equities and credit, and also worked in private equity at Onex Partners in Toronto. He earned his B.Comm. from McMaster University. Jason has been an EdgePoint partner for 6.9 years.

Jin’s journey to EdgePoint from South Korea started when he moved to St. John, New Brunswick at the age of 12. Despite the allure of the ocean air, he eventually went inland to Toronto for university. One of Jin’s first jobs in Hogtown was in a Korean restaurant, but he admits that his cooking somehow didn’t improve despite getting a lot of dishwashing experience. When Jin isn’t trying to avoid starting kitchen fires, he enjoys playing poker and any sport involving a ball. He can often be heard chatting about Liverpool FC with fellow fan and Investment team member Jason. Prior to joining EdgePoint, Jin was a research intern at another investment firm. He earned his B.Comm. from the University of Toronto and is a CFA charterholder. Jin has been an EdgePoint partner for 4.7 years.
