Tarek Mansour
Tarek Mansour is the Co-Founder and CEO of Kalshi, a federally regulated financial exchange for trading directly on events.[1][2]
Tarek Mansour and his co-founder, Luana Lopes Lara, founded Kalshi in 2018.[3] In 2020, they secured regulatory approval from the CFTC to become an exchange and offer an asset class called event contracts, which enable traders to take positions on whether an event will happen or not.[4] Kalshi’s CFTC approval unlocked the ability to commoditize almost anything with economic relevance, from Covid numbers to whether a bill will pass in Congress, broadening the definition of what a commodity derivative is and paving the way for the futures market to catch up to new risks facing the economy today.[5][6][7]
History
Mansour previously worked as a quantitative trader at Goldman Sachs and Citadel. He received a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Master’s in Engineering also from MIT.[8]
