Manuel blends Wall Street discipline with an entrepreneurial drive to reshape how long-term capital partners with consumer businesses. Before co-founding Kharis Capital, he spent a decade as Chief Investment Officer for the Edmond J. Safra Philanthropic Foundation, steering multi-asset direct and co-investment programmes and cultivating a global family-office network that powers Kharis today. Earlier roles at Goldman Sachs, UBS and Citigroup honed his capital-markets expertise and sharpened his instinct for distinguishing signal from noise.
Known for strategic clarity, decisive execution and a relationship-first mindset, Manuel leads Kharis’ capital-raising engine and drives its long-term partnership strategy—aligning patient family capital with visionary founders to build enduring consumer platforms. He has lived and worked across Geneva, London and Monaco, bringing a genuinely global perspective to every partnership he forges.
