Exclusive Interviews That Impact Investors

When the world’s most influential CEOs and politicians want to engage with the media, they turn to Manus — one of the most trusted and tenacious anchors.

He interviewed Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, banking titans like UBS Group Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, and Jenny Johnson, President and CEO of Franklin Templeton, gaining insights straight from those shaping global industries.

In energy and economics, Manus has quizzed the chiefs of oil supermajors including Shell, BP, Total and Equinor on strategy and outlook. In the Middle East, he’s held in-depth conversations with key decision-makers – HRH Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Dr. Anwar Mohammed Gargash, senior diplomatic adviser to the UAE President, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak MD and Group CEO of Mubadala Investment Company, and H.E. Mariam AlMheiri, Vice Chair and Managing Director of 2PointZero and Former Minister of Climate Change and the Environment of the UAE.

These exchanges exemplify Manus’s authoritative yet approachable interview style, built on preparation and an instinct for uncovering the “story behind the story.”
