Egor Kodzhebash’s relocation to New York was shaped by complex personal circumstances, but professionally, it marked a clear and strategic step forward. With a degree in Innovation Management and years of experience in elite real estate, luxury development, and private client service, Egor brings to the U.S. market a rare mix of integrity, discretion, and strategic vision.
In his earliest months in Manhattan, Egor met Larry Goldman, a Manhattan-born intellectual from an old business family who embodied the spirit of New York sophistication. As Larry left for the ocean for the winter, he entrusted Egor with his Central Park apartment, a gesture that marked the beginning of a meaningful friendship. A writer, cultural connoisseur, and true gentleman, Goldman became both mentor and close friend, introducing Egor to the city’s history, culture, and quiet codes of trust. Remembered after his passing, this bond represented more than friendship — it became a symbol of Egor’s authentic integration into New York’s fabric.
His move to New York is not a fresh start, but an evolution. Already tested at the highest levels in Russia, managing elite properties, advising family offices, and collaborating with international consulting firms, he now extends that expertise to a global stage. With letters of recommendation from private clients and open invitations from hedge funds, luxury real estate ventures, and elite automotive partnerships, Egor enters the U.S. as a professional with proven trust and presence.
While studying Innovation Management at university, Egor became involved with a high-net-worth family office whose core business was food imports, supplying major retail chains across Russia with container-scale shipments. At its peak, the family’s operations managed roughly $150 million annually, handling international logistics and large-volume distribution.
Within this group, Egor’s thesis project focused on a more localized venture: the launch of a city-based retail chain. Far from being a theoretical exercise, it resulted in the opening of 15 neighborhood stores with $2 million in investments, giving him first-hand experience in scaling under pressure, coordinating operations, and managing multi-stakeholder projects at an early age.
Alongside retail, the family’s portfolio also included elite real estate, where Egor contributed to the management, construction, and sale of properties. Though these projects were not comparable in scale to the import operations, they developed his eye for quality, discretion, and the ability to balance sensitive personal and financial priorities. Together, these parallel experiences refined his capacity to structure complex holdings across diverse sectors.
In 2024, Egor began exploring the hedge fund ecosystem through close collaboration with a Dubai–New York quantitative fund founded by a classically trained mathematician. What began as years of private experiments in market behavior evolved into a structured, math-driven platform for algorithmic trading. Today, the fund manages $100–150M in assets and is positioning itself as a next-generation quant player with a strong focus on crypto and other high-yield markets.
Egor was introduced into this circle not as an investor but as a trusted advisor and business developer. One of the fund’s managing partners approached him for consultation, and their discussions opened the door for potential collaboration. His involvement so far reflects productive dialogue at the intersection of strategy, capital, and relationships — positioning him to contribute as the fund expands its U.S. presence.
Beyond finance, Egor is preparing to expand into Miami’s ultra-high-end real estate market, where his expertise in structuring complex assets and navigating high-value transactions aligns naturally with market demand. Known for his ability to combine strategic vision with practical execution, he is already in discussions with family offices and development circles interested in his perspective. This direction represents not past cases, but future collaborations — grounded in proven skills and market relevance.
In addition to finance and real estate, Egor has also been invited into the circles of New York’s luxury automotive industry. At Miller Motorcars — one of the world’s most recognized names in exclusive car dealerships — he met with its owner, Brian Miller, during a private presentation. While the conversation has not yet developed into cooperation, it illustrates the openness of high-profile sectors to Egor’s ideas and confirms his ability to move naturally within trust-based, prestige-driven environments.
Among Egor’s most personal professional experiences was his work inside the private household of a globally recognized family. Though the details are bound by confidentiality, the relationship grew into a genuine friendship with a long-tenured confidante of the family and recurring invitations to return whenever new needs arise. For Egor, this experience was less about prestige than about the human element — proving that discretion, character, and genuine warmth can open doors even in the most private of circles.
Egor’s philosophy of work is simple: every complex asset tells its own story. Whether it’s a $5M estate tied to a family’s legacy or a hedge fund algorithm translating mathematics into capital flows, the task is always the same — preserve value, protect trust, and structure growth.
The methodology he refined in Russia — deep structural analysis, creative repositioning of assets, and sensitivity to reputation — is equally relevant in New York. For American family offices and funds entering new markets, these skills are not theoretical but vital.
As Egor himself puts it: “When banks or managers are ready to sell assets at any price, you have to think not as a lawyer, but as a strategist. Capital can be protected — but trust and reputation must be preserved above all.”
His relocation to New York represents more than a personal transformation. It is the quiet arrival of a professional presence uniquely equipped to bridge private capital, innovation, and trust.
