I am a Chartered Accountant with 24 years turnaround, distressed business advisory and Corporate Finance experience. My career began in Australia with specialist turnaround management business Jirsch Sutherland, where I initially assisted with and later managed over 40 Voluntary Administrations, a restructuring process very similar to business rescue in South Africa. In 2001 I moved to the UK and joined Deloitte Reorganisation Services in Edinburgh before transferring to Deloitte South Africa in 2002 where, together with Philip Reynolds began developing a Reorganisation services business focused on turnaround and distressed business advisory for the South African firm. At Deloitte I was appointed as Director Corporate Finance to run the existing Corporate Finance team in Pretoria whilst continuing to develop the Reorganisation services division.In 2008 I left Deloitte and founded RS Advisors which provides both Corporate Finance Advisory and advisory services to clients in the distressed debt sector. I have assisted distress clients in sub Sahara, Europe, USA and the Middle East. Highlights include working on a multi billion dollar restructuring projects across Europe and the Middle East during the Global Financial Crises in 2008. I passed with distinction the Law Society programme “Advanced Short Course in Business Rescue Practice” and am certified as a senior business rescue practitioner in South Africa.Business rescue appointments include large listed companies: African Bank Investments Limited and Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited and large unlisted companies: Stuttafords International Fashion Company (Pty) Limited, Mapochs Mine (Pty) Limited, Steeledale (Pty) Limited .
