He was a president of Marriott Hotels and Northwest Airlines and an assistant to United StatesPresidentsRichard Nixon(in whosepurge of Jewish government employeesMalek would take an active role) andGeorge H. W. Bush.Active in politics for more than fifty years, Malek also served as a National Finance Committee Chair of Sen.John McCain's2008 presidential campaign,as well as the finance chair for theRepublican Governors Association,and played various roles in the campaign of every Republican nominee for president, with the exception ofDonald Trump,over the past four decades.[2]Malek also served as the chair of the board of visitors of theUnited States Military Academy at West Point,and was active in philanthropic efforts to support the academy. In 2011, in recognition of his commitment to free enterprise and community service, he received theHoratio Alger Award.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Malek was born inBerwyn, Illinois,the son of Martha Dorothy (Smicklas) and Frederic William Malek, a beer truck driver.[1][4][5]He was of Czech and Croatian descent.[6][7]He was raised inChicago,and graduated with aBachelor of Sciencefrom theUnited States Military Academyin 1959.[8]He served in theVietnam Waras an airborne ranger, assigned to a special forces unit.[9]

Malek received hisMaster of Business AdministrationfromHarvard Business Schoolin 1964 and worked as a management consultant forMcKinsey & Co.He and two classmates made a pact to purchase a business together; two would work and support the third while he scouted out opportunities. In 1967, he left McKinsey and, with his partners, purchased Triangle Corp., a strugglinghand toolmanufacturing company inOrangeburg, South Carolina.[8][10]

Dog-barbecuing incident

[edit]

In August 1959, Malek and four other men were arrested in Vicary's Park nearPeoria, Illinoisafter a dog was killed, eviscerated and barbecued on a spit. Charges of cruelty to animals were later dismissed against all but one of the men, Andrew P. O'Meara, who testified that he alone had struck and killed the dog, skinned it and tried to cook it, in order to teach the others something about living off the land.[11][12]

The story came up again when Malek became an advisor and fundraiser to Sarah Palin in the2008 presidential campaign.[13]Amid accusations that Malek himself had killed and barbecued the dog,[11]Malek, in his blog, quoted O'Meara, a retired Army colonel, taking "full responsibility" for what happened.[14]

During the2012 presidential campaignthe incident once again came up when Malek's hosting ofAnn Romney's birthday party was brought up by the semi-satirical group Dogs Against Romney.[15]

Business career

[edit]

Marriott Corp.

[edit]

In 1975, Malek joined Bethesda-basedMarriott Corporation,and was quickly promoted, eventually becoming president of Marriott Hotels. He was elected executive vice president of Marriott in March 1978.[16]Under Malek's oversight of the hotel and resort division from 1981 to 1988, earnings increased nearly fourfold, or 18 percent a year, during a period that encompassed a recession, industry overbuilding and profit declines by competitors.[17]

In early 1989, Malek became a senior advisor to theCarlyle Group.He led a group of investors to purchase the Coldwell Banker Commercial Group, the nation's largest commercial real estate services company, fromSears, Roebuck and Companyat a price estimated at $300 million. He went on to become co-chairman of the company, serving on the board of directors for 29 years, helping to increase the value of the company to over $15 billion.[18]

Northwest Airlines

[edit]

Malek soon joined Los Angeles investorAl Checchiand Marriott's Gary Wilson in a $3.65 billion, all-cash purchase ofNorthwest Airlines.The investor group was joined in the leveraged buyout by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Elders IXL, which contributed $480 million in equity. Malek and Checchi joined the airline's 10-member board,[19]and Malek became president.[20]

In July 1989, Malek and a group of Carlyle investors bought Marriott's leading airline catering division for an estimated price of $650 million.[21]From January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2005, Malek was a member of the board of directors ofFannie Mae.[22]

Thayer Lodging Group

[edit]

In 1991, Malek founded Thayer Lodging Group, a private equity firm named afterSylvanus Thayer,West Point class of 1808, the "father of the Military Academy."[23]

Thayer has a lengthy and successful track record: since forming its first private equity fund in 1991, Thayer has completed 41 hotel investments with a total acquisition cost of approximately $2.4 billion.[24]Thayer's funds currently own a portfolio of 14 hotels and 3,637 guest rooms.[24]On July 1, 2013, Thayer acquired Ritz Carlton-San Francisco to the delight of Malek, who said, "we hope to replicate the success of our Orlando Grand Lakes Ritz Carlton, one of our highest return investments."[25]

On May 21, 2014, Thayer Lodging Group announced its acquisition byBrookfield Asset Management.[26]Thayer continues to own the hotels it acquired during the years prior to its partnership with Brookfield. Malek continued to be actively involved as chairman of Thayer Lodging.[27]

Thayer Capital Partners/Thayer Hidden Creek/HCI Equity Partners

[edit]

In 1993, Malek also founded and became chairman ofThayer Capital Partners,a Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm. In 2005 the company merged with Hidden Creek Partners and was renamed to Thayer Hidden Creek.[28]Following the SEC administrative action and a number of other setbacks the company rebranded as HCI Equity Partners,[29]a name it operated under as of 2016.[30]

Fraud

[edit]

On August 12, 2003, theSECfiled a civil fraud lawsuit[31]against former Connecticut state SenateDemocraticMajority LeaderWilliam DiBellafor participating in a fraudulent scheme to invest $75 million of the state pension funds with Malek's firm, Thayer Capital Partners.[31][11]On May 18, 2007, Thayer was found in negligence of theInvestment Advisers Act of 1940,and was ultimately forced to pay a civil penalty of $150,000, while Malek personally paid a fine of $100,000 for his role in the affair.[32]

It was alleged that Malek acted to enrich himself as well as advance his own political and financial interests, in addition to the benefit the fraudulent scheme would bring to him as a significant partner in Thayer. FormerConnecticutState Senator and Representative DiBella testified under oath in federal court that his relationship with Malek went beyond the latter's official position at Thayer, he testified that his contract obligated him to assist Malek personally with "ongoing investor relations.” and that Malek personally told him "I need you for the new treasurer” (the new treasurer being the incoming Denise Nappier).[33]The scheme moved much of the Connecticut State Retirement and Trust Fund into high-risk, long term, non-liquid private equity funds (such as Thayer's). This unbalanced the investment plan, increasing the risk of a long term failure.[34]

Major League Baseball

[edit]

Malek was a co-owner in theTexas RangersofMajor League Baseball,along withGeorge W. Bushand other investors, from 1989 to 1998.[35]After selling his stake in the team, Malek earned his money back fivefold.[36]

Beginning in 1999, Malek led the recruitment of theMontreal Exposfranchise to Washington, D.C.[35]Working alongside city leaders, Malek set up the Washington Baseball Club, an ultimately unsuccessful investment group with partners that includedJeff Zients,Steve Porter, Paul Wolff, Frank Raines,Jim Kimsey,Colin Powell,Vernon Jordanand David Bradley.[37]

Political career

[edit]

Nixon administration

[edit]

Malek served in the Nixon administration in several different roles, including Deputy Under Secretary of theDepartment of Health, Education, and Welfareunder SecretariesRobert FinchandElliot Richardson,as well as special assistant to the president from 1970 to 1973, and deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget from 1973 to 1975.[38]Malek served as deputy chief of theCommittee to Re-elect the Presidentin 1972.[39]

As a management expert to Nixon, Malek helped restructure theWhite House Personnel Office,and recruited cabinet and sub-cabinet officials.[40]In his memoirs, Nixon described Malek as a "tough young businessman whose specialty was organization and management."[41]

In thefirst Nixon administration,Malek designed and directed the "Responsiveness Program",a strategy to replace civil servants with Nixon supporters and to steer government resources to benefitNixon's 1972 re-election.[42][43][44]According to theSenate Watergate report,Malek wrote in a 1972 memo to Haldeman that someone was needed to "take the lead in the program to politicize Departments and Agencies" and to "supervise the patronage operation and closely monitor the grantmanship operation."[45]In advocating the plan, Malek wrote of "substantial risks" to politicizing the Executive Branch and expressed concern that the plan would "undoubtably backfire" if made public; therefore he recommended that "to minimize any links to the President, there should be no directions on this project in writing."[46]

As an advisor to President Nixon, Malek played a significant role in the early days of theEnvironmental Protection Agency,earning credit fromWilliam Ruckelshaus,the agency's first administrator, and others for helping to ensure that EPA had outstanding top people in its ranks.[47]

Malek was sworn in as deputy director of theOffice of Management and Budgeton February 2, 1973. He served until 1975, when he resigned to re-enter the private sector.[9]

Nixon Jew count

[edit]
Main article:Nixon Jew count

In 1971, Richard Nixon became convinced theBureau of Labor Statistics(BLS) had come under the control of Democratic rivals and what Nixon termed a "Jewish cabal." He instructed aidesCharles ColsonandH. R. Haldemanto identify a list of Democrats and "important Jewish officials" at the agency.[48]Malek provided the data on Democrats after a check of voter registration rolls, but balked at fulfilling the rest of Nixon's query. "I refused four times. The fifth time he came back and gave me a direct order through Haldeman, so I gave him a number. I regret my compliance. It was a mistake."[49]Malek did not have access to BLS employees' religious affiliations, so his list comprised those BLS employees with "Jewish-sounding names", and two months after he sent the list, two of the officials on it were reassigned to "less visible jobs" within the Labor Dept.[50]

Seymour D. Reich, chairman ofConference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizationsduring the 1990s, said "Malek made a mistake 18 years ago when he agreed to a regrettable request by President Nixon." But he added, Malek "has taken pains to assure the Jewish community that he realizes his error and that he intended no harm. I believe he is sincere."[49]In 2010, Sen.Dianne Feinstein(D-Ca.) called Malek "a man of high principle" who "has proved many times over the years his loyalty to the highest principles of freedom, human rights and international tolerance."[51]On December 15, 2014, Malek received the Anti Defamation League's Achievement award during a ceremony in Washington, D.C.[52]

Bush administration

[edit]

In February 1988, Malek resigned as president of Marriott Hotels to direct the Republican National Convention for then vice-president,George H. W. Bush.He was said to be "on track" for chief of staff in the Bush White House, but resigned after acknowledging that in 1971, at the request of President Nixon he drew up a list of important Jewish officials at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Malek, who was a special assistant to Mr. Nixon, emphatically denied that he had engaged in an anti-Semitic act.[50]

In September 1989, Malek was appointed by President Bush to coordinate plans for the 1990 economic summit of industrialized nations. The appointment was seen as a test of whether Malek could successfully serve in the administration. Malek served as director of the 1990 Economic Summit of Industrialized Nations, with the rank of ambassador, where he was responsible for the preparation and staging of the event.[53]

The appointment proved a success, and in 1992 Bush appointed Fred Malek manager for hisre-election campaign.Malek was "responsible for nuts-and-bolts daily management." Malek ran the campaign withfundraiserRobert Mosbacherand pollsterRobert Teeterout of a rented office in downtown Washington.[54]

Malek also served as co-chairman of the finance committee forJohn McCainin 2008.[55]

American Action Network

[edit]

Malek was a co-founder,[56]former chairman and one of three executive committee members of theAmerican Action Network,a 501(c)(4) center-right think tank established in January 2010 to promote policies based on the principles of freedom, limited government, and strong national security.[citation needed]

Republican Governors Association

[edit]

Malek chaired the Executive Roundtable of theRepublican Governors Association,an organization supporting the election of Republican governors.[57]In 2012 it was announced that Malek agreed to serve as the Republican Governors Association's finance chairman.[58]Under Malek's leadership, the RGA outpaced the Democratic Governors Association, and republican governors increased from 21 in 2008 to 33 in 2018.[59]

Virginia government reform commission

[edit]

On May 7, 2010, Virginia GovernorRobert McDonnellappointed Malek to chair a 31-member commission to find efficiencies and savings in government.[60]Critics objected to Malek's appointment based on both the BLS and SEC administrative action. In particular his anti-semitic past was singled out for criticism, less attention was paid to the Connecticut racketeering case.[61][62]McDonnell responded that he did not know of these parts of Malek's past.[61][63][64]

Philanthropy

[edit]

West Point

[edit]

Speaking of his time at West Point, Malek said "Harvard was extraordinarily helpful in teaching me to analyze problems on a purely academic front, but in terms of overall effect, it was not even close to the U.S. Military Academy in making me who I am. West Point builds the entire structure of the man, the values of the man. It develops you in the whole."[8]

In 2008, Malek was nominated by PresidentGeorge W. Bushto the board of visitors of theUnited States Military Academy at West Point.[65]Malek would go on to become the chairman of the board in 2011.[66]

In addition, Malek was a philanthropic supporter of West Point, leading the largest ever capital campaign to fund the Frederic Malek West Point Visitors Center in 2017.[67]He also underwrote the Malek Tennis Center.

Malek's wife, Marlene Malek, graduated from the school in 1979 and was a member of the Marymount board of trustees. The School of Health Professions was renamed "Malek School of Health Professions" to honor the Maleks' ongoing commitment to Marymount University.[68]

Malek died on March 24, 2019, following complications from hip surgery.[23][56]
