BRAINVEST ANNOUNCES JAN GUNNAR KARSTEN AS BRAZIL CEO, FERNANDO GELMAN AS GLOBAL CEO




KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- Brainvest Wealth Management (Brainvest), a full-service multi-family office and investment firm for families and entrepreneurs, has announced Jan Gunnar Karsten, CFA, CFP, as Brazil Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and partner of the company.


He takes the place of Fernando Gelman, who will now assume the role of Global CEO, according to a statement.


This joint action aims to strengthen and accelerate the national and international growth of the Multi-Family Office, opening a new chapter in the history of the company.


“Today, Brainvest carries a portfolio of clients that are increasingly complex in their expectations and goals, and thus, our strategy is to increasingly improve our structure, our services and our human capital,” said Gelman.


Karsten wants to focus on creating a clear path for Brainvest to scale its ecosystem across Latin America. Simultaneously, Gelman will focus his work around the world supporting the CEOs of each unit, Switzerland, Brazil and the USA.


The hiring solidifies Brainvest as a key player in the global multi-family office space and is executing a strategic plan that began in 2019 with the arrival of Alexander Gorra as partner, followed by the acquisition of 20 per cent of the company by Merchant Investment Management (Merchant) at the end of last year.


Karsten’s deep industry knowledge and impressive experience positions him for success as he assumes the role in Brazil.


He will also support the expansion of Brainvest's international relationship manager teams, strengthening the company's core value of providing sophisticated financial management to international investors.


Founded in 2003, Brainvest has a presence in the U.S., Switzerland and Brazil, serving international and U.S. clients.
