Business | HJA Strategies

HJA Strategies Executive Director Henry Amoroso has over 30 years of experience managing business development strategies, complex real estate transactions and capital identification for a wide array of individuals, small businesses, large estates and major corporations. HJA Strategies offers clients a unique menu of expertise to help build their businesses and execute on acquisitions, mergers, sales, market repositionings, buy outs and refinancings—allowing clients to develop, hone and target their own analytical approach.

The firm’s expertise in growing businesses, as well as managing both periods of transition and recovery, is rooted in a deep experience in the private sector. HJA Strategies works with clients from beginning to end on valuations, alternative financing opportunities and improvements. Our clients range from major corporations to closely-held companies, including industries such as food service, transportation and logistics, healthcare, information technology and financial services.

St. Vincent’s Healthcare System; Cathedral Health; Archdiocese of Newark: As Chief Executive Officer of St. Vincent’s Healthcare System, Henry served as CEO during the realignment of a $1 billion corporation, managing the largest landmark approval in American history, which, in turn, paved the way for one of the largest real estate developments in Lower Manhattan and the preservation of St. Vincent’s historic property. In New Jersey, Henry did similar repositioning work with Cathedral Health and the Archdiocese of Newark.

Jersey City Redevelopment Authority: Having served as the General Counsel to the Jersey City Redevelopment Authority, the oldest and busiest agency of its kind in the United States, Henry brings a unique expertise in managing complex transactions between developers, municipalities and public authorities with large portfolios, diverse financing structures and within an intricate regulatory environment. Henry has assisted clients with real estate acquisition for properties not available on the open market and has also been involved in the construction of strategy for managing properties, as well as the selection of management.

“HJA Strategies has provided invaluable insight for SDI and has helped strategically position us in a wide variety of sectors, particularly healthcare. SDI is a global “big data” company with a long history, and HJA has been able to uniquely and effectively translate our offerings to several firms that might not have otherwise known what we can offer, expanding our market and our reach.”

Aron Patel, Chief Executive Officer, SDI Corp.

“Henry Amoroso is one of the most effective leaders and strategic thinkers I have had the pleasure of working with in any sector. His knowledge, attention to detail, drive and ability to understand and get to the heart of the matter would be a great asset to any leader, as it was to me. Henry’s ability to work through periods of financial distress, identify solutions and execute on them is an invaluable aid for leaders in business and government who need to navigate out of distress and stay out for good.”
