He is married to singer Stacey Jackson and has four children with her. Jackson founded OpCapita's predecessor, Merchant Equity Partners, in early 2006 alongside operating partners David Hamid and John von Spreckelsen. [1] The name was changed to OpCapita in 2010, and in 2011 it completed its first deal under that name.[2]
Before setting up MEP, he was a Managing Director of Deutsche Bank AG and head of its European Consumer and Retail Group. Prior to this he held partner-level positions at Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB), Peter J. Solomon Company, and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ).[3]
In 1995, Henry was named as one of Crain's New York's 40 Under 40.[4] Jackson is the grandson of Henry L. Jackson, a co-founder of Esquire Magazine who died in the crash of United Airlines flight 624 in 1948.[5][6]
