Adam Katz currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Irenic Acquisition Corp. (IACQ), a special purpose acquisition company targeting businesses in the aerospace, defense, and broader industrial sectors. Based in New York, Irenic Acquisition filed with the SEC in April 2026 to raise up to $220 million in its initial public offering, planning to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol IACQU. Katz leads the SPAC alongside President and director E-Fei Wang and Chief Financial Officer Matthew Kupersmith, drawing on the infrastructure, personnel, and analytic capabilities of Irenic Capital Management LP, which serves as the SPAC's sponsor. The management team brings a combination of investor, operator, and governance experience to identify and execute transactions with exceptional businesses.
In addition to his role at Irenic Acquisition, Katz is the Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Irenic Capital Management, an activist hedge fund firm he established with Andy Dodge in 2021 with $335 million in capital. At Irenic, he has extensive experience with multiple $1 billion-plus public equity activist engagements. Prior to co-founding Irenic, Katz spent eight years as an associate portfolio manager at Elliott Management, focusing on situational investing. His background in activist investing provides a differentiated combination of investor, operator, and governance experience, which he leverages in his leadership of both Irenic Capital and Irenic Acquisition Corp.
Katz holds a degree from Harvard Law School and is based in the New York City metropolitan area. His deep expertise in risk management, market inefficiencies, and the evolving landscape of activist investing positions him to lead Irenic Acquisition's search for a target company, utilizing cash from the offering, equity, debt, or a combination thereof to consummate an initial business combination.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002014762 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 5 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
