Russell Redenbaugh

Blind from the age of 16, Russell Redenbaugh's achievements as a successful investor and economist, a Commissioner on the US Civil Rights Commission serving under three US Presidents and a black belt, three time gold medal jiu-jitsu world champion fighting sighted opponents, prove that if he can, you can. With the first MBA awarded to a blind student from the University of Pennsylvania’ s Wharton Business School, Russell went on to become Chief Investment Officer at a prominent Philadelphia money management firm that he helped grow to $6 billion in assets. After successfully selling the firm as one of six partners, Russell moved on to teach at Wharton, serve as a Commissioner on the US Civil Rights Commission and consult global corporations such as IBM, Applied Materials and KLA Tencor on "Shifting the Narrative" through process/metric design. Russell founded and is managing partner of Kairos Capital Advisors, a Registered Investment Advisor, where he manages his own and his clients' money using strategies departing from flawed investment industry narratives.
