About David Einhorn
Einhorn cofounded Greenlight Capital in January 1996 and has served as its president since then, according to Green Brick Partners’ board biography. That source also describes his separate corporate roles: a directorship in Green Brick’s predecessor beginning in May 2006 and the chairmanship of Greenlight Capital Re beginning in July 2004. He earned a government degree at Cornell University. The connections place him at the intersection of investment management, insurance and a public operating company. They also explain why the Greenlight brand and the companies on whose boards he serves must retain separate identities.
