About Me

Former hedge fund manager and activist investor Thomas Sandell closed up shop in 2019, transforming his Sandell Asset Management into a family office. Hit hard by the great recession, the Swedish credit market specialist has built up his fortune twice. Sandell earned an MBA from Columbia University and landed a spot at Bear Stearns in 1988 before founding Sandell Asset Management a decade later. Initially a risk arbitrage specialist, Sandell later shifted tactics and engaged in loud proxy battles with firms like Bob Evans Farms in 2013. At Bear Stearns he worked with famed investment banker Ace Greenberg on such deals as Kirk Kerkorian's attempted buyout of Chrysler.
