About Poly

Poly joined ADL after completing his Master’s degree in civil engineering at MIT and was assigned to the operations research group which was headed by John Magee. Given his language capabilities and interests, Poly took part in ADL’s first foray into Saudi Arabia, with Harland Riker. Later he was transferred to, and eventually took over leadership of, the Brussels office. From there, he continued to visit Saudi Arabia to maintain our very valuable client relationships. This effort paid back handsomely for ADL when oil prices sky-rocketed in 1973. By 1976 our business in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf area had grown so much that Poly moved to Athens, Greece, to open the ADL office for the Middle East. By 1981 we had major assignments all over the Middle East, with offices in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Cairo, Egypt.

In 1981, Poly left ADL to join Morgens, Waterfall, Vintiadis & Co., an asset management company in New York, as a partner, where he’s still active on a full time basis. Currently, about 40% of MWV&Co’s business is overseas with clients in Europe, Middle East, and Hong Kong.
