Herent takes its name from haerere, the Latin root meaning "to stick."
We look for businesses, people, capabilities, and ideas that can become more valuable together. That perspective shapes how we invest, how we approach M&A, and how we build.
Herent is led by Jenna Sleefe, an investor and M&A executive with more than $6 billion of transaction experience across 60+ investments and acquisitions, including private equity investments, corporate acquisitions, carveouts, joint ventures, and integrations.
