She serves on the board of the Santa Fe Institute and is an instrument rated private pilot. Life and educationMs. Kooi learned her trade in commodities at age 15 from her father, a commodity trader who took her under his wing and taught her the ropes. After taking delivery of the nearby egg futures he said, “Mari, always be careful trading in the nearby contract, you may have to eat it for breakfast.” Thus Mari’s interest in trading extends back 40 years. Kooi earned a degree in economics from Iowa State University and focused her senior Honors Program project on World Food Distribution reporting to renowned agricultural economist, Dr. Neil Harl. During this time, Kooi was awarded the Lucht Scholarship in Economics for outstanding achievement. This was in addition to her award as a State of Iowa Scholar. Ms. Kooi holds a master's degree in finance from the University of Minnesota. She used her early futures trading experience to land a commodity merchandising position at Cargill Incorporated in 1977. She spent six years as a commodity trader focused on grains, transportation and feed ingredients. During this time, Kooi was a member of the Chicago Board of Trade (now the CME Group) and the COMEX (now the New York Mercantile Exchange). In 1983, she helped found Cargill’s first in-house hedge fund. This small department of 8 people later became a Division and then a Group within Cargill. As President of Cargill Asset Management, Ms. Kooi’s focus was primarily in fixed income during the heyday of high interest rates. This group later spun out as the Black River Fund (Black River Asset Management LLC) and CarVal. Ms. Kooi’s career at Cargill spanned 18 years. Kooi’s husband, Peter Kooi, has also spent his career in the commodity industry. He was an early pioneer in the grain trading industry joining Cargill in 1965 and later becoming President of Cargill International S.A., Geneva, Switzerland, President of Cargill’s World Grain Trading Group, and President of Cargill Asia Pacific Sector, Singapore. This led the Koois to live in Switzerland and Singapore where Ms. Kooi launched her first business venture, Wolf Risk Management. Through this international experience, Kooi gained many relationships with international companies and knowledge of jurisdictions. Ms. Kooi now can count 99 countries where she has spent time.

This group of financial leaders developed a plan to improve New Mexico’s business environment for financial services companies. As a result, legislation was passed that made it possible for financial services companies to come to New Mexico. Later Kooi was instrumental in ensuring this led to jobs for New Mexico.
