As a businessman and a sailor, Elliott Wislar abides by the concept of “Velocity Made Good”; essentially, you need to take all conditions into account when making decisions, or else you’ll overshoot your mark due to any number of factors. This new take on Wayne Gretzky’s “stake where the puck is going to be, not where it’s at” also helps guide him in business decisions and has helped him distinguish himself as the founder and CEO of Clearbrook Global Advisors.
Throughout his life, Elliott Wislar has developed passions in specific areas. He is a big supporter of animal welfare as well as economic empowerment, disaster and humanitarian relief, civil rights, social action, and social services. Additionally, he is an advocate for poverty alleviation, the arts, education, the environment, and science and technology. In his free time – when he isn’t sailing – Elliott enjoys golfing, traveling to new and familiar places, and imbibing fine wines.
Within his professional career, Elliott Wislar has developed an impressive set of skills that includes multiple industry-specific talents. As the founder and CEO of Clearbrook, he operates the New York-based global diversified asset management company providing customized investment solutions for family offices, institutions, and high net-worth individuals.

On the horizon, he is particularly passionate about innovation and sustainable investing when it comes to future plans.
