He was the 2011 Global Chairman and 2012 President of the Turnaround Management Association (TMA), the international nonprofit dedicated to corporate renewal and the turnaround industry. In that role, he led an organization with 10,000 members in 54 chapters worldwide and focused on expanding and strengthening TMA's European chapters, revitalizing the certification program for turnaround professionals and improving the educational programming offered to TMA members.
