An independent perspective.
Alexander Hennessy
Founder
Alexander Hennessy founded Westphalian. Trained in law and economics, and shaped by work in trading, research, private-market transactions, debt offerings, and public-markets analysis, he brings an investor’s attention to incentives, a lawyer’s attention to structure, and a writer’s concern for meaning.
He lives in Manhattan with his wife and two sons.
