John Collard said "I am honored to be part of the Smart CEO program and contribute to this effort. These are interesting times for businesses in a troubled marketplace. Turnarounds are a lot like start-ups – they must build teams, differentiate and sell products and services, secure capitalization, and grow. It is a disgrace for CEOs and boards of directors who allow their company to become distressed and watch value deteriorate." Collard continued. "Turnaround specialists can be an option to stabilize the situation and rebuild value. Turnaround management strategies will certainly play a key role in recovery."
