Kris Adams, Cfa Email & Phone Number

I believe the Restructuring and Turnaround industry is as much about people, as it is about financial solutions. My personal journey as an investment professional allows me to engage a diverse portfolio of companies across multiple geographies and industries, including the development of both growth and turnaround strategies. I am cognisant that decisions taken today can have knock-on effects on real people and their communities tomorrow.After 15 years as an investment professional and witnessing the extraordinary advancement of Artificial Intelligence, I realised the odds of being replaced by a ‘machine’ were increasing at an alarming rate. Confronted by this realisation, I searched for a vocation likely to be more insulated from this technological menace and have focused my efforts on the Restructuring & Turnaround industry, where strategic thinking meets hands-on operational muscle. And I have not looked back since. To say I’m solution driven feels like a buzzword. Instead, my approach to each engagement is to determine what a successful outcome looks like and then design a solution with that destination in mind. I see projects like a puzzle that needs to be broken up and fitted together again. I bring 20 years of experience across both financial markets and the Restructuring and Turnaround industries, both debt and equity, public and private markets. I’m a CFA Charter holder, graduated from the University of Cape Town with a B.Bus.Sci (Honours in Finance & Economics) and was lucky enough to finish high school in Mauritius, earning an International Baccalaureate from the Le Bocage International School.I demonstrate strong business and financial acumen with an entrepreneurial flair. I’m a lateral thinker with the ability to hit the ground running and energise a team. My strong analytical skills empower me to identify key issues and risks to make in-formed decisions quickly. I am comfortable both leading and being part of a team and am passionate about mentoring and coaching.I’d love to connect with… • Private Equity & Debt providers,• Other R&T specialists, • Business Rescue Practitioners, and• Businesses that need advice or an independent view of their troubled situation
