Before joining Forepont Capital Partners, Eric M. Attias co-founded Nexar Capital, built it into a roughly $4 billion global asset manager, led its acquisitions of Allianz Alternative Group and Ermitage Asset Management, and later helped lead UBP Asset Management after Nexar was acquired by Union Bancaire Privée. Today he serves on the boards of SiSaf and Precision Neuroscience, was personally thanked in Exeliom's financing announcement for his support, and has taught at universities and hosted international visitors, including a group from National Sun Yat-sen University, at Forepont.
