Analyst Hub, an independent research infrastructure platform company
that provides talented sell-side analysts a path to owning their own
enterprise, today announced that Heather L. Jones – top-ranked by The
Wall Street Journal, Forbes and StarMine in the food products industries
– has partnered with the firm to launch Heather Jones Research, LLC
(HJR).
“We’re very excited that Heather is the eighth analyst to launch an
independent research firm on our platform,” said Mike Kronenberg, CEO of
Analyst Hub. “As the first post-MiFID research platform inspired and
funded by the buy-side and built by experienced sales professionals,
Analyst Hub continues to innovate and develop proprietary technology and
distribution tools so our affiliated analysts can scale efficiently and
meet demand.”
“Just a few short years ago, the technology Analyst Hub offers to
aspiring analyst entrepreneurs wasn’t remotely available in the turn-key
format it is today,” said Jones. “With the institutional commercial
research model speeding toward subscription pricing, I knew it was time
to partner with Analyst Hub to start and grow my own firm.”
In StarMine’s 2013 Analyst Awards for Excellence, Jones was ranked as
the top stock picker in the food products category. In 2012, she was
named top stock picker in the food and tobacco industry in The Wall
Street Journal’s annual “Best on the Street” analyst survey. In 2009,
she was top ranked in the food industry by Forbes “Blue Chip Analyst”
awards survey.
Prior to launching HJR, Jones was with the Vertical Group where she
followed the agribusiness and protein sectors. Before that, she was with
BB&T Capital Markets from 2001 to 2016 covering the agribusiness,
consumer foods and protein sectors. And prior to joining BB&T, she was
an associate analyst with Bear Stearns, and began her career as a
consumer analyst with Evergreen Funds. She graduated cum laude from
Liberty University with a BS in economics and has completed all the
coursework toward a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University.
