NEW YORK - Two Wall Street bankers are joining Jasper Street Partners to build the firm's practice helping clients defend against activist investors by identifying vulnerabilities, navigating proxy contests and managing public pressure campaigns.
Started in 2020, the firm, which this month changed its name from Sustainable Governance Partners, was conceived in a coffee shop on Jasper Street in Media, Pennsylvania, and has offices in Pennsylvania and New York. The two men reunite at Jasper Street as demand picks up from companies facing agitators like Carl Icahn and Nelson Peltz as well as other interests like unions. A record number of activist campaigns were launched in the first half of the year including at Southwest Airlines, JetBlue and Walt Disney.
