Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics Principal William K. Snyder, previously the co-leader of Deloitte Corporate Restructuring Group, was named leader of Deloitte CRG for the United States.

Snyder succeeds his former co-leader, Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics principal Sheila T. Smith, who will continue in her role as Americas region restructuring services leader for Deloitte until her retirement in May 2015.

Prior to joining in 2012 via acquisition, Snyder was a managing partner and founder of CRG Partners Group. During his 25-year career, Snyder participated in the restructuring of over 70 organizations and served as an interim-officer, -examiner or -trustee in more than 20 bankruptcies.

“We thank Sheila for her 14 years of Deloitte service, her 9 years as leader of our restructuring practice and her work championing our acquisition of CRG Partners,” said David Williams, CEO, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services. “I look forward to William’s continued work for Deloitte CRG’s growing client list, as we help organizations facing crises to emerge with confidence.”

Snyder is a Certified Turnaround Professional and has received numerous distinctions over the years, including being named to the Turnarounds & Workouts people to watch list for 2007 and the American College of Bankruptcy’s Fifth Circuit Fellowship.
