Founders

Before co-founding QUETSOL, Manuel co-founded and managed a global macro hedge fund, Thresher Global Management, in Greenwich, CT, USA that focused on trading currencies, sovereign bonds and commodities. As portfolio manager, Manuel developed proprietary mathematical models of different instruments across a variety of exchanges and was the executive portfolio manager.

Manuel graduated from Harvard University in June 2006. He simultaneously received a Master’s Degree in Astrophysics and a Bachelor’s Degree in Astrophysics and Physics. He wrote two theses, dealing with the mass of the Black Hole located in the center of our Milky Way galaxy and the development of magnetic fields around new-born stars. Manuel also worked at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics as a student observer at the Millimeter Wave Radio Telescope, gathering mass density data of our galaxy. He was president of the Harvard Rugby team, amongst other extracurricular activities.

Previous to co-founding QUETSOL, Juan worked at Procter & Gamble as a Brand Manager for a diverse portfolio of consumer product brands across Central America. The scale and volume of P&G’s activities allowed Juan constant interaction with and intimate understanding of consumers of scarce resources in both urban and rural areas throughout the region. Familiarity with such a large sales and marketing apparatus facilitates QUETSOL’s aims of bringing such world-class services to our customers – regardless of income level.

Juan Fermín graduated from Universidad Francisco Marroquin, in Guatemala City, Guatemala where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing and Finance.
