About Me

Jahm Najafi is a Phoenix-based private equity investor whose portfolio includes direct-to-consumer brands and minority stakes in sports teams. An Iranian by birth, Najfi's family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a child. After a stint on Wall Street and his older brother's Pivotal Group real estate firm, Najafi launched his own investment firm, Najafi Companies. His most lucrative acquisition was a $100 million bet in 2003 on domain registrar Network Solutions, which he sold for $800 million in 2007. Najafi acquired 10% of the Phoenix Suns in 2009 and rolled forward his stake when a group led by billionaire Mat Ishbia bought the team for $4 billion in 2023.
