Oklahoma Magazine presents the 40 Under 40 Class of 2025.
Marc Kulick, 36
Marc Kulick, CEO of Vesta Capital, spends his days working with on-site property management teams, engaging in high-level investment management and collaborating with investors. He quotes the old adage that he did not choose his profession – it chose him.
“As much as that may sound trite, it’s true,” he says. “I started as a leasing agent in college and never got out of the industry. My first job was 2007, and it took until 2015 for me to accept that this was my career. I started my firm, Vesta, in 2016.” Now, he loves that every day brings its own new challenges. “I’m always moving in 100 different directions, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
When Vesta was founded, Kulick had one other employee – his wife. Now, he manages over 400 associates. The secret to his success, he says, has to do with perseverance … and to do with that very first employee. “My wife and I built this company together, so the greatest secret is that I married someone who is in lock step with me,” he says.
Outside work, Kulick volunteers with the Tulsa Day Center and Ronald McDonald House. He and his wife also support several Jewish communities throughout the world, sponsoring literacy programs and free loan societies. You’ll find the pair at OKC Thunder games, the TU Tennis Center, Chabad of OKC or the Summit Club.
