Gabrielle Rubenstein is Co-founder and CEO of the private equity firm Manna Tree, which is known for its growth equity investments in companies that help improve human health through nutrition.[1][2] Rubenstein is also known for her work with global family offices and research partners to connect Manna Tree's mission of improving human health to capital while aiming for innovations in a rapidly evolving investment category.[3][4][5]
Early life and education[edit]
Rubenstein is the daughter of David M. Rubenstein,[6] Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Chairman of The Carlyle Group.
Ellie Rubenstein’s interests stem from her experience as a hunter and angler where she spends her free time on the shores or in the woods of Alaska and Colorado. In a 2020 Lifestyle Magazine interview, Rubenstein explained her passion for responsibly-sourced food started with her own experience with hunting and fishing.[7]
Rubenstein earned her MS in Agriculture Economics from Purdue University, her MBA from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business where she was a Tobias Fellow and her BA in Sociology from Harvard University where she was a Varsity ski racer.[8] Rubenstein earned a graduate certificate in Mind-Body Wellness from UCLA’s Center for East-West Medicine and the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior.[9]
Philanthropy[edit]
A member of Manna Tree's investment committee, Rubenstein co-leads fundraising and is on the board of the firm's philanthropic research arm, Vail Innovative Global Research (VIGR)[10] which supports industry research and development around consumer health and behavior and the application of ESG+Health impact reporting.[11] [12][13]
Manna Tree's five investee companies range from producers of eggs, beef, and plant-based food tech ingredients and indoor farming. Each investment promotes the Rubenstein's (and the other co-founders') mission to invest in companies that produce healthy food through its full lifecycle.[14]
In addition to her role at Manna Tree, Rubenstein is a philanthropist through her family office, Mission Ingredients.[15] In a 2019 interview with Women in Agribusiness, Rubenstein explained that with a focus on improving population health, she supports organizations and initiatives that create positive change which includes local food production, ingredient research, outdoor wilderness youth education, and military health and recovery programs.[16] The combination of Rubenstein's investment and philanthropy activity has attracted other families and institutions to impact investing that creates health and wealth.[17][18]
Rubenstein is a national SAF advisory committee member of the American Red Cross and a strategic advisor board member at Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.[19] She is also an active supporter of the American Red Cross of Alaska,[20] Vail Health/Howard Head,[21] Steadman-Philippon Research Institute, Stand Together Ventures Fellows, and the National Park Service Foundation - National Junior Ranger Anglers program.[22]
