Turnaround, executed — not just diagnosed.
Distress rarely arrives as one event. It arrives as a slow leak — margin erosion, a covenant breach, a leadership gap nobody planned for, a generational transition with no map — until the business is burning runway faster than anyone in the room wants to admit. Most turnaround engagements make it worse: a diagnostic that sits on a shelf, an interim manager more focused on the fee than the outcome, or a plan with no one accountable for delivering it. Boards, owners, and investors don’t need another opinion. They need someone to run the recovery — and be judged on whether it lands.
What we do
An independent, senior-led assessment across operations, cash, supply chain, and governance, sharpened by AI-driven financial and operational analytics that surface hidden value and real risk in days, not months.
A 13-week rolling cash-flow model and stabilization plan, backed by continuous covenant and liquidity monitoring that flags a breach before it happens — not in the next board pack.
Embedding the methods, templates, and governance that make delivery repeatable across the organization.
Redesigned processes, controls, and management information systems, plus a governance charter and decision-rights framework — the systems that let a business run on process, not on any one person's effort
Global search, onboarding, and mentoring of a professional CEO and leadership team, delivered by senior practitioners who stay only as long as the business needs them — no permanent payroll burden, no dependence.
How we deliver it
An independent health check across operations, cash, and supply chain — a clear view of what's hidden and what's at risk.
A governance charter, redesigned processes and controls, and AI-enabled reporting — a business that runs on systems, not heroics.
Global search, onboarding, and mentoring of a leadership team who fit the culture they're inheriting.
Investment-grade status — clean books, professional team, documented strategy — and a strategic-options analysis so owners choose: sell a stake, recapitalize, bring in a partner, or hold.
Every distressed-business engagement is led by senior practitioners who have run recoveries before — not consultants learning on the client's dime. We bring the same PMI-grade delivery discipline we apply to capital programs and AI transformations: a governed roadmap, measurable milestones, and accountability for the outcome, not the deck. And because governance-first AI is built into how we work, the systems we install — cash telemetry, risk monitoring, board-ready reporting — keep working long after we leave, giving owners, boards, and lenders one trusted source of truth instead of a quarterly surprise.
Stabilized cash flow and covenant compliance within the first 90 days; institutional-grade leadership installed without a permanent payroll burden; systems and governance that outlast any single owner or manager; a credible, investment-grade platform for growth or transaction.
