From Survive to Thrive!!
How Can You Achieve 800% Growth In Your Company's Market Value?

"Doing business in today’s economy can be challenging.  Emerging businesses are faced with any number of market conditions and challenges that impact their day-to-day business.  However, tumultuous conditions can create enormous opportunities.  
 
For our May executive forum, Enterprise Network is excited to feature guest speaker Jahm Najafi, a highly successful businessman that has succeeded in buying companies that are out of favor or undervalued because of negative economic or business conditions.

The Najafi Companies looks to buy businesses that are undervalued or are out of favor with investors. For example, Najafi Companies bought Network Solutions, an internet domain registry company, from VeriSign for $100,000,000 when internet related companies were highly out of favor. In 2007, Network Solutions was sold for $800,000,000 to General Atlantic, a private equity firm.

In 2006, Najafi Companies created a new company called Innovative Brands that purchased from Proctor and Gamble the businesses related to the well-known brands Pert and Sure. Najafi saw an opportunity to buy these brands that were well-known, but were not a major focus of P&G. With new management and marketing, he has been able to reinvigorate these brands and create a very successful business.

Mr. Najafi has been the CEO of Najafi Companies and its predecessor, Pivotal Private Equity, since 2002.  He was a partner and COO of Pivotal Group from 1990 to 2002.  He worked at Salomon Brothers Investment Banking, now a division of Citigroup, from 1986 to 1990. He is also a Harvard MBA.
 
Join us as Jahm Najafi shares his thoughts on how tough economic and business conditions are excellent times to invest and find opportunities. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend on May 15, 2008 at 7 a.m.  You and your business cannot afford to miss out on this business-changing event!
