Retire At Year’s End 

Next up: President and CEO of The Fisher Group.
M

ark A. Davidoff, Michigan man-
aging partner at Deloitte LLP
, 
will retire on Dec. 31 then join 
the Fisher Group as president/CEO, effec-
tive Jan. 2, 2020.
The Fisher Group, based in Southfield, 
is a single-family office for 
the three-generation family 
members of Max M. and 
Marjorie S. Fisher. 
“It’
s been a high honor 
to serve as Deloitte’
s 
Michigan managing part-
ner, which has prepared me 
to lead the Fisher Group 
in keeping with the vision 
of the founders,” Davidoff 
said. 
Davidoff’
s stewardship 
of family relationships 
will focus on NextGen engagement and 
involvement. He will be partnering close-
ly with Doug Bitonti Stewart, executive 

director of the Max M. and Marjorie S. 
Fisher Foundation, to enable greater com-
munity impact.
He succeeds Ira J. Jaffe, the current 
president/CEO of the Fisher Group and 
founder of Jaffe, Raitt Heuer and Weiss, 
who will continue to be 
engaged by the Fisher Group 
in various capacities. 
“We are excited to have 
Mark leading the family 
office as the family members’
 
needs mature and evolve,” 
said Marjorie F
. Furman, 
board member at the Fisher 
Group.
Prior to Deloitte, Davidoff 
was the COO and execu-
tive director of the Jewish 
Federation of Metropolitan 
Detroit. His career includes two decades in 
leadership roles with impact organizations.
He currently serves as chairman of 

more than just successful performance in the 
business world, Rubin said. “More important 
than anything are my children — Daniel 
Stern and Melissa Meltzer, both who live in 
Michigan — and my grandchildren. I take full 
advantage of having them here. I know how 
incredible it is to be able to go to all the Little 
League games, the school events, ‘
Grandma 
Tuesdays’
 and so on. I do kvell over the VFA 
Fellows, too — almost as if they are my own 
kids!”
Those “kids” include three VFA partici-
pants who, under the tutelage of Rubin and 
other business mentors, have been inspired to 
become the new generation of workplace lead-
ers. 
Now living in the heart of Detroit, Abbie 
Spector hails from Devon, Pa., and Avi Atkin 
and Lauren Hoffman are former New Yorkers.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS
“I learned about VFA through a chance 
meeting with Andrew Yang and 
became a VFA fellow when I 
graduated in 2016,” said Avi 
Atkin, product manager at Ford 
Autonomous Vehicles. “My 
favorite part of the experience has 
been getting to know the other 
fellows and alumni. One of the 
core values Randy and VFA have taught me 
is our impact at work should extend not just
