John T. "Jack" Woodruff
Managing Partner; WallerSutton LP

Jack joined Waller Capital in 1989 after serving as a founder and Executive Vice President of Enstar Communications. While at Enstar, Jack was responsible for all acquisitions and financing and pioneered the use of public limited partnership financing with an income orientation. At the time of Enstar's sale to Falcon Communications five years after its inception, Jack was Chief Operating Officer.

After joining Waller Capital, Jack immediately led the Waller Capital team in its efforts to introduce growing operators to more sophisticated sources of capital. Jack was responsible for some of Waller's largest and most innovative transactions, including the $3.1billion sale of Bresnan Communications to Charter Communications and the carriage negotiations and private placement of equity which launched the Sci-Fi Channel. As an advisor, Jack has initiated and closed 58 transactions valued at over $11.5Bn.

In 1997, Jack was one of the founding partners of Waller Capital's first private equity fund, Waller-Sutton Media Partners. In 2000, Jack raised Waller's second, affiliated fund, WallerSutton, and now serves as its President and manages day-to-day operations. These two funds have raised over $280mm for investments in the media and communications sectors, and count among their investments Spectrasite, ChoiceOne, Cablevision and AAT.

Jack attended the University of Georgia where he received a BBA in Accounting and an MBA in Finance. Following Business School, Jack worked with Arthur Andersen & Company in the Management Information Consulting Division where he was a Senior Consultant.
