Bennett Stewart is one of the principal architects of modern corporate finance and value creation. As Co-Founder of Stern, Stewart & Co., he co-created Economic Value Added (EVA)—one of the most influential financial performance frameworks in modern business that fundamentally reshaped how companies measure true economic profit and long-term shareholder value.

Over multiple decades, Bennett has advised many of the world’s leading corporations, including Fortune 500 companies, as well as private equity firms and institutional investors, on capital allocation, performance measurement, and shareholder value strategy. His work has been applied across thousands of companies globally and has influenced boardroom decision-making at the highest levels—establishing a disciplined approach to aligning strategy, incentives, and financial outcomes.

At Johnson Millennium, Bennett serves as a Strategic Advisor, providing guidance on value architecture and capital strategy across the platform. His perspective directly informs how JM structures opportunities, evaluates capital deployment, and designs companies for long-term, compounding value creation.

His involvement reflects Johnson Millennium’s commitment to building not just companies, but a unified system of value creation grounded in discipline, precision, and long-term thinking.

Bennett holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Princeton University and an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
