Christophe Gauthron, CFA

Founder & CEO

Christophe built Kwanti on the vision that advisors with access to comprehensive and affordable portfolio analytics could serve their clients better. Prior to Kwanti, Christophe developed mathematical software for the semiconductor and chip industry.

"One of my greatest professional joys is talking with advisors to better understand their needs, and then building solutions for them into our products."

You started Kwanti in 2008. Was that intentional or crazy timing?

Both! The crisis made it painfully obvious that advisors needed better tools to understand what was happening in their clients' portfolios. The pain point was real and urgent. In hindsight, it was the right time to build something meaningful. The demand was right there.

What's something you're working on at Kwanti right now that you're excited about?

What started as tooling for small RIAs is growing into something built for the enterprise. We're expanding how advisors do portfolio management: modeling risk and return scenarios across an entire book of business, role-based permissions and team hierarchies, firm-wide model portfolios with centralized oversight, and compliance and audit controls.

What's something no one would guess about you?

I love coding, but music and rhythm have always been a core part of how I think. For years I was very active in a band, actually with our CTO, Jean-Charles. There's something about marching to a beat that maps to how I think about building software. Structure, timing, flow. It's all the same instinct.
