In memoriam:
Jean-René Giraud

In loving memory of Jean-René Giraud, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Trackinsight. Jean-René suddenly left our world on June 16th, 2022. This page is a tribute from his colleagues and partners to honor his memory and forever remember him as the extraordinary human that he was.

Jean Rene Giraud

Beyond everything, Jean-René was a husband, a father and a grandfather.

Philippe Malaise, Chairman of Trackinsight, said: “Jean-René was an eternal optimist, always looking towards the future. He was a leader and an inspiration to many. He was unstoppable. Jean-René was one of a kind, striving to build an amazing team and partnerships with industry leaders to support ETF investors across the globe. It was his passion. The Trackinsight team will continue to perpetuate his legacy and make him proud.”

Douglas Yones, Head of Exchange Traded Products at the New York Stock Exchange, said: “Jean-René was a true entrepreneur, whose passion and optimism were the foundations of his success. Spending time with JR was a gift, and I found myself both happier and more excited about the future after every meeting. Following a series of conversations and coffees, we co-founded ETF Central with the belief that providing access and transparency to the ETF marketplace would benefit both investors and asset managers as well as support growth in the industry. Each day we seek to honor his vision and legacy through the work we invest in ETF Central.”

Jean-René was larger than life and will forever be missed.
