LinkedIn Profile

Arno Advisors is led by an experienced financial-services executive and investor with a deep passion for analyzing, restructuring, and turning around businesses across a wide range of industries and market conditions.

Notable board accomplishments include managing two successful CEO transitions, developing effective management-incentive plans, and providing governance oversight for strategic capital expenditures that transformed an industrial business and facilitated a successful exit.

Additional experience encompasses chairing audit committees for multinational businesses, evaluating and settling complex litigation matters for post-restructuring creditor trusts, and leading M&A and financing processes.

Arno Advisors brings an investor-focused, value-creation sensibility to every engagement and benefits from its founder's experience as an investor and creditor-committee member across numerous major restructurings — spanning industrials, energy, retail, real estate, healthcare, technology, and financials.
