Jean Manas Email & Phone Number

Jean is the CEO of Foros, which he founded in 2009 in the midst of the financial crisis to provide corporate clients differentiated strategic and financial advice focused on shareholder value creation. Foros has been ranked among the top M&A advisors and among top independent advisory firms in the U.S. by league table providers. The Financial Times called Foros one of the “big fish among the boutique investment banks.”Jean has been advising CEOs, CFOs and Boards of Directors over his three-decade career and is amongst a select group of very experienced, senior M&A bankers who remain fully engaged personally in day-to-day client engagements. He serves his clients as both a trusted strategic advisor, helping them think through strategies for long-term value creation, and a deeply experienced and highly effective negotiator in achieving successful outcomes in M&A transactions. He works closely with key decision makers at his clients, his work is based on rigorous research and analysis, and his advice is clear and actionable. While Jean has extensive experience in the technology sector, he works with companies across industries and favors lateral thinking in both strategic advisory and deal negotiation situations.
