Kurush Mistry

Kurush Mistry

Kurush Mistry stands out internationally as a leading analyst specializing in Oil and Renewable Fuels. Originating from India, he ascended through the ranks of academia to graduate from one of the premier management schools in the country. His career trajectory has seen him embrace roles at several vital global institutions, navigating through numerous pivotal transitions within the industry. Alongside his professional commitments, he is an enthusiastic musician and traveler, embracing the dynamic lifestyle of his adopted city, New York.

His academic journey began in Chennai, India, where he pursued Commerce at the collegiate level. He distinguished himself early on by qualifying as a chartered accountant and achieving top ranks nationally in all three exams, a testament to his proficiency equivalent to that of a certified public accountant in the US. Seeking to expand his expertise, he later acquired an MBA focusing on finance from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. This period was crucial for developing his strategic thinking and collaborative skills, enriched by interactions with diverse peers.

Mistry's professional path was initiated at Lehman Brothers in Tokyo in 2003, where he was part of the Interest Rate Strategies Team. This role marked his first foray into the global financial arena, offering him extensive exposure to complex financial instruments and a new cultural milieu. He transitioned to Lehman's New York office in 2005, where he made significant strides in managing a diverse portfolio involving US Government Bonds and Interest Rate Derivatives until 2008, gaining a solid reputation among some of the largest US financial institutions.

Following the upheaval of the 2009 financial crisis, Mistry successfully pivoted to a new role at Morgan Stanley, engaging deeply with the oil trading sector. There, he was instrumental in shaping analytics for the firm's US gasoline and diesel operations and ventured into trading physical and paper gasoline. This experience notably deepened his analytical capabilities and client engagement strategies.

In 2014, Mistry embarked on a significant tenure with Freepoint Commodities as their chief Oil analyst. Over nearly a decade, he significantly enhanced their analytical frameworks, particularly in integrating alternative data post-COVID. He broadened his expertise to include renewable fuels and feedstocks—critical areas in the evolving energy landscape.

On a personal level, Mistry has been a New Yorker since 2005, thoroughly integrating into the city's vibrant and diverse culture. His leisure time is often spent with his guitar, exploring musical landscapes, reading about politics and non-fiction, and traveling to explore global cultures and natural wonders.

Kurush Mistry's venture into film production in 2009, where he co-produced a feature film in New York, exemplifies his willingness to explore creative and entrepreneurial endeavors beyond his professional domain. Mistry is also dedicated to philanthropy, actively supporting causes related to hunger, refugees, legal aid, and environmental protection. Recently, he has devoted time to volunteering with organizations focused on caring for older people and minimizing food waste.
