JANA Partners Management, LP
Founded in 2001 by Barry Rosenstein, JANA Partners is a leading event-driven investment firm recognized for its disciplined approach to shareholder activism. The firm specializes in identifying undervalued public companies where it can catalyze value through constructive engagement, focusing on operational improvements, optimized capital allocation, and strategic corporate transactions. JANA’s "V3" investment criteria—Value, Votes, and Variety of Ways to Win—underpins a rigorous selection process that seeks to align management incentives with shareholder interests to drive long-term total shareholder return (TSR). JANA has built a formidable track record of high-profile engagements across diverse sectors, including landmark campaigns at Whole Foods, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Conagra Brands, Lamb Weston and Six Flags. By leveraging a deep network of industry operating partners and maintaining a reputation for working judiciously with boards, JANA effectively bridges the gap between current corporate performance and intrinsic potential.
