We are so thrilled to announce the winners of the 2020 Turnaround and Transaction of the Year Awards. These dedicated and skilled professionals will be recognized and celebrated for their achievements at IMPACT 2020: The TMA Experience, September 29-October 1.
The Turnaround Management Association (TMA) is the largest nonprofit serving corporate renewal and restructuring professionals worldwide. The professionals associated with these awards successfully navigated complex and challenging special situations, resulting in positive outcomes that preserved value, saved jobs, and demonstrated the power of collaborative and creative efforts to achieve a positive end. TMA members have provided invaluable work in the face of the unknown for many businesses, and this year’s award winners show that at its finest.
Over the course of many months, our volunteer Awards Committee vetted 43 award submissions, after which detailed diligence of the winners was completed before confirming each award. Many thanks to the Awards Committee co- chairs, Alan Kadish, Esq., Archer & Greiner P.C., (TMA New York City) and Rich Infantino, Deloitte (TMA Philadelphia/Wilmington), as well as the TMA Awards Committee members listed below for the countless hours of effort put into the review and selection of the winners of these coveted awards.
The TMA Turnaround and Transaction Awards are among the most prestigious and recognizable in the industry. Congratulations to the following award winners, not only for their extraordinary achievements but for showing the power of #BetterTogether and making us all #TMAProud.
