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

who will continue to be
engaged by the Fisher Group
in various capacities.
“We are excited to have
Mark leading the family

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
