New Partners Enhance Restructuring, Performance Improvement and Litigation Services
NEW YORK, October 1, 2023 — Novo Advisors, a premier turnaround consultancy serving middle market firms, is proud to announce the expansion of its office in New York. Representing clients nationally from its Chicago headquarters and offices in Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Nashville, the growth in New York further extends the company’s services into the Northeast region.
Joining Novo Advisors to lead the effort to develop its business there are two New York-based experts, Matt Cohn, Partner, with 25 years’ experience managing both in-court and out-of-court restructurings, managing liquidity and developing business plans; and Rob Vanderbeek, JD, Partner, with more than 30 years of restructuring, performance improvement and due diligence as well as litigation, valuation and forensic experience. Both have successfully managed restructurings, Chapter 11 bankruptcies, sales processes and a host of financial matters for clients in numerous industries.
Highly regarded for the services provided by its seasoned consultants, the addition of Matt and Rob to the Novo roster fits the company’s long-term growth strategy.
“Both Matt and Rob bring unique talents to Novo. Matt’s restructuring and CRO experience and his extensive background with municipalities brings strength to our existing team as well as new capabilities in public finance. Rob’s background as an attorney, his work as a COO, in performance improvement and forensic analysis for complex cases will be extremely valuable to clients,” said Sandeep Gupta, Novo Advisor Managing Partner. “Having these two new experts onboard significantly enhances our bench strength.”
New York and the Northeast region are vibrant business centers. We are excited to bring our talents as trusted, collaborative partners to companies based there with our expanded team.”
