Brendan Henry
Founder/Director

Every share register I view is different, and each shareholder experience at each company is different. In establishing an alternative shareholder engagement company, I am extremely aware of this and so my aim is not to simply provide a formulaic approach to our sector, but to listen and understand and provide solutions on this basis.

In partnering with OpenDirector, I believe we can provide a more informed and data-driven approach. This can only lead to better outcomes for clients.

I love the opportunity to contribute (even if in a very small way) to the success of issuers, who are at the very core of our capital markets, and the privilege we are given to interact with their shareholders.

To become a shareholder is an aspirational decision, which comes with responsibilities other investments do not. This interaction and feedback loop where all parties are invested and want to see the best outcome is what excites me and motivates me to ensure that our clients have the very best experience.

Jeff Jackson
Partner, Corporate Governance

Corporate governance is a fundamentally important aspect for every issuer. During my time as a proxy advisor and working on investment stewardship, I have recognized that corporate governance is not a spectator sport. How issuers interact and communicate with their shareholders, proxy advisors, and other market stakeholders, especially ahead of shareholder meetings, can be a difference maker, especially in shareholder meeting outcomes.

I joined OpenEngagement because issuers and shareholders deserve the opportunity to communicate their views on corporate governance. This could allow shareholders to make informed decisions whether in voting or for issuers to address concerns or update stakeholders about their corporate governance practices.

Similarly, as corporate governance practices evolve, so do investor and market stakeholder expectations. I am very interested in being aware of how expectations or requirements within corporate governance are also evolving.

I look forward to connecting issuers with their investors and stakeholders about corporate governance. My ideal result is for issuers to maintain strong corporate practices or improve their corporate governance practices to benefit all interested parties.
