disciplines, credit products and global industries
NEW
YORK, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Paladin
Management, the middle-market advisory firm driving value creation
through financial and operational consulting services, has further
strengthened its partnership roster with new hire
Amy Kirschner.
Amy
Kirschner, a senior corporate and investment banking
professional, joins the Paladin team.
As a senior professional in corporate and investment banking
with success in credit origination, structuring, portfolio
management, and debt restructuring, Kirschner is ideally
suited to joining the Paladin team. Her extensive experience spans
asset-based and reverse-based lending, commodity trade financing,
and leveraged finance across various industries and business
segments.
Offering a wide array of advisory services in interim
management, crisis management and restructuring, the turnaround
specialists were listed on Inc Magazine's list of fastest-growing
private companies in America, reflecting the consultancy's
sustained triple-digit growth year on year.
Commenting on the new hire, Paladin founder Scott Avila noted, "With experience from a
leading investment bank, Amy
Kirschner brings a new and complimentary perspective on
lending and restructuring to the Paladin team. As a company that
believes in inclusion and diversity, we are also proud to promote
another female leader and value her insights and skillset. Amy's
diverse middle-market experience allows her to quickly understand
client issues, prioritize, and identify key pressure points. She
knows what bankers and other creditors are thinking and what they
need. Amy is a consensus builder and a problem solver, something
that is at the heart of what we do at Paladin."
Working with BNP Paribas in New
York since 1995, Kirschner leaves the premier French bank as
a Managing Director in Asset Restructuring, where she was
responsible for identifying financial and strategic alternatives
and negotiating the restructure of complex distressed credits. Her
work spanned North America, LATAM,
Europe, and Australia, including out-of-court and
bankruptcy recapitalizations, distressed refinancings, debt sales,
Chapter 11 plans, and asset liquidations. She also collaborated
with stakeholders to engage new boards, interim management teams,
and key advisors.
Commenting on her move to Paladin, Amy
Kirschner concluded, "I am delighted to be joining
Paladin Management at a time when there is so much opportunity to
create value for middle market companies facing complicated
turnaround and restructuring situations. I am looking forward to
taking on the complex financial and legal challenges faced by our
clients and getting immersed in the technical and operational
issues at hand. My mantra is to maximize value while minimizing
liability, something which appears to resonate at Paladin. I can't
wait to get started."
Amy received her BSc in French and Economics from the
University of Michigan. Prior to her
tenure with BNP Paribas, she also worked at Chase Manhattan Bank
and other large financial institutions.
