Manrique joins from GameDay, the venture they founded in 2025, and over the same period also launched Eleven North Advisors, a strategy consulting practice. At FTSE Russell, which Manrique joined in 2019, they moved from Global Head of Derivatives to Head of Strategy and then to Global Head of Equity Product.

Before that, Manrique led index and data product for SSGX at State Street and served from 2010 to 2018 as Global Head of Product, Exchange Derivatives & Structured Products at MSCI.
