When we enter an interim CEO engagement we have three goals to accomplish: 1) Gain control of a dire situation, stabilize work environment, establish breakeven, and jump-start the company; 2) Establish a viable plan, rebuild an enduring management team to implement that plan; and 3) Hire our replacement. We believe true company value comes from a stable competent cohesive team of people resources committed to company growth, profitability and prosperity. We do not build-up the number of consultants on engagements because when they leave all of the value leaves with them. Instead, we utilize the client?s employees and take them to the next level. We build value into the company for the investors and all stakeholders.

John M. Collard is a Certified Turnaround Professional (CTP), and brings 35 years senior operating leadership, $85M asset recovery, 40+ transactions worth $780M+, and $80M fund management expertise to run troubled companies, and advise company boards, litigators, institutional and private equity investors.

Past Chairman's Council. John was recently inducted into the
Turnaround Management, Restructuring, and Distressed Investing Industry Hall of Fame, honoring those individuals whose outstanding contributions have increased the stature and respect of our industry.
John M. Collard, Chairman, Strategic Management Partners, Inc. said, ?These are very trying times for business. Our declining global economy, unprecedented changes in government policy effecting how we will do business in the future, and limited availability of capital are pressing business issues that we must all face and conquer. We must focus on building companies in which investors and lenders want to invest their precious capital. Turnaround managers bring a unique set of skills to deal with these issues and create value.? ?Our government can be a catalyst to this process of restoring value to troubled companies if they present a viable solution to the toxic assets that rob banks of their reserves. In this way banks will have more capital to lend and restart the credit lending process.?
