Japonica Partners' proactive investment process
requires an enormous commitment of resources. To develop the necessary
Nuggets of Value, construct a significantly attractive Value Gap,
and implement a superior business plan, Japonica assembles teams
that can approach 100 highly accomplished professionals with marketing,
sales, technology, manufacturing, finance, and international operations
expertise. These team members can quickly and efficiently identify
and analyze operating and financial attributes of companies in
various industries. Importantly, Japonica team members are expected
to manage the unexpected.
Core Management Team: Core management teams,
sourced predominantly from Japonica's network of prior investment
contacts and from relationships established by our founder while
at Goldman Sachs, are comprised of proven performers from leading
industry benchmarks. A representative selection includes:
- Diversified - Borg Warner, IC Industries, and General Electric
- Consumer Products - Gillette, Rubbermaid, Sunbeam, and Newell
- Transportation - Illinois Central Gulf, Florida East Coast
Railroad, and Conrail
External Advisors: Prominent external advisors
make substantial contributions in the areas of technology development,
accounting, employee benefits, insurance, tax strategies, regulatory
matters, property management, environmental studies, and law.
Certain advisors who play an integral role in a situation also
forego much of their customary fees for services in exchange for
premium economic rewards upon the successful completion of designated
events. |
