Who Is Responsible for What

West Garden is not a public asset management firm. We do not turn our researchers into public personas: our strategies, proprietary technologies, and team members form a core competitive advantage.

Privacy, however, does not mean anonymity. We are fully transparent about the leadership responsible for governance, capital deployment, risk control, legal architecture, and relations with bondholders.

Tom Ermolaev

Founder of West Garden,
Architect of Disruptive Solutions
With 30 years of experience in urban digitalization and technology development, Tom now applies these principles to investing. He believes in the productive power of artificial intelligence across sectors, including finance, but insists that any tool requires rigorous testing, disciplined tracking, and continuous refinement. West Garden is built on this exact discipline.

Team of managers

The West Garden team includes 21 asset managers — each executing their own strategy within a distinct market segment, ranging from traditional securities to alternative transactions and venture deals. Some operate in-house, while others collaborate as external partner managers; to us, they are not outside contractors, but integral parts of a single ecosystem.

Publicly, we profile those who already lead their own independent businesses and welcome public visibility — a deliberate choice prioritizing confidentiality over exposure. The rest of our specialists operate entirely behind the scenes.
