This prestigious award is a mark of enterprise excellence and

to deliver business value.
Janus Henderson Investors (Janus Henderson) is being recognized
for the firm’s merger integration program, which was both
innovative and successful across the key dimensions of technology,
operations, culture and finance. The merger integration program
delivered a unified asset manager, with a global operating model,
consolidated technology platforms and globally aligned business
processes. The firm includes more than 2,000 employees and
operations across 28 cities worldwide, with a London headquarters,
a Denver-based North American hub and operations across Asia.
Dick Weil, Janus Henderson Chief Executive Officer, said:
“We are tremendously proud of our team’s efforts in delivering
optimal business capabilities through leveraging the best of both
legacy firms. All our employees globally in every department and
region are responsible and deserve credit for the completion of
this significant effort to integrate two large global investment
firms. This award for the firm’s merger integration efforts is a
testament to the extraordinary collaboration efforts of our people
working across functional groups throughout the organization.”
The Janus Henderson integration program, for which the firm won
the award, delivered the following critical business results:
- A unified global business built to
scale and to also optimize regional capabilities, 18 months ahead
of schedule
- Firm cost synergies in excess of $125
million per year
- Substantial new capabilities and global
agility based on innovative new technology and ways of working
Paul Algreen, Janus Henderson Chief Information Officer,
said: “Today, we are a truly global asset manager, focused
around the common goal of delivering successful long-term outcomes
for our clients. The firm has quickly and efficiently turned from
merger integration, to creating the active asset manager of
tomorrow. I’m grateful for the opportunity to look back and
appreciate the hard work of our people – our greatest asset. We are
appreciative of both the employee effort and the trust of our
clients through this process.”
About the CIO 100 Awards
The annual CIO 100 Awards celebrate 100 organizations and the
teams within them that are using IT in innovative ways to deliver
business value, whether by creating competitive advantage,
optimizing business processes, enabling growth or improving
relationships with customers. The award is an acknowledged mark of
enterprise excellence. Recipients are selected through a three-step
process. First, companies fill out an online application form
detailing an innovative IT and business initiative. Next, a team of
external judges (many of them former CIOs) reviews the applications
in depth, looking for leading-edge IT practices and measurable
results. Finally, CIO editors review the judges' recommendations
and select the final 100. Coverage of the 2019 CIO 100 Awards will
be available online at CIO.com in August 2019 and in the summer
issue of CIO’s digital magazine.
