SKILLS
ABOUT JEAN MAUNOURY
While still a student at ESSEC and eager to join the real world, I began working at Natixis as part of a year-end internship. My time at the investment bank coincided with the creation of Asset Square (multi-management), in which I participated. My journey in the financial industry started at 22, both in Paris and London. I had to learn everything from the bottom up and had the good fortune of working alongside highly talented people for seven years. My introduction into the world of management came in the realm of emerging markets. It was there I was responsible for selecting both European and African fund managers. Within this role, I was able to take in the lessons which drive my career today. I began to learn the ropes of the investment process that we have been implementing at iM Global Partner.I left Natixis in 2007, having gained a thorough understanding of our industry and developed a feel for working in a complex market that challenges you every day. The next phase of my career was at Rothschild, where I worked in fund management in an international environment focused on Asia and the United States. Entrepreneurism was always prized in my family, and I wanted to carry on the family tradition by founding a company of my own. I owed this desire to build something to my father, who operated a medium-sized industrial company. When he died in 2008 during the financial crisis, I had to manage the turnaround and sale of our family company while holding down my day job. That was an accelerated learning curve. In 2013, I took the leap alongside Philippe Couvrecelle, a proven leader in asset management who was an exemplary mentor to me in the beginning. My strengths tend to be analytical along with solid expertise in due diligence. We combined our respective skills to jointly conceive the iM Global Partner project. I am responsible for defining our investment strategies and the type of management companies we seek out on behalf of our clients. Working with our teams, I identify the best potential partners worldwide. We are positioned not as financial investors per se but as business partners who share a common entrepreneurial spirit. This alignment with the respective managements and their teams is key, as it ensures long-term collaboration. This method of growing our ecosystem distinguishes us from the large competing firms in the global market. The growing reputation of our brand along with the outstanding results in 2021, when we recorded the strongest growth in the firm’s history, have positioned us as a key player in asset management.
