In May of 1999, Kaminsky and his team joined Neuberger Berman LLC. Kaminsky left Neuberger-then a unit of Lehman Brothers-just months before the financial crisis led to the firm’s September 2008 bankruptcy. He is regarded as one of Wall Street’s top money managers. He was known for his criticism of Lehman’s risk-taking, which ultimately doomed the company. After Lehman’s collapse, Neuberger remained an independent company and Gary Kaminsky was required to adhere to a two-year non-compete clause in his contract, which prompted his move to CNBC. His outspoken views at the news channel often ruffled the feathers of some top business executives, including billionaire investor Warren Buffett. CNBC ultimately issued an apology for some comments Kaminsky made about Buffett’s investment strategy. In March of 2013, Gary Kaminsky was named as the Vice-Chairman of Morgan Stanley. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley, Kaminsky was also a regular on Squawk Box and Squawk on the Street, where he brought essential market insight to CNBC.
