Portage Point Partners, a blue chip advisory, consulting, interim management and financial services firm focused on the middle market, added Coley Brown as managing director to the turnaround and restructuring services (TRS) practice.
Coley spent over two decades at Huron Consulting Group advising debtors, secured lenders and unsecured creditors through both in-court and out-of-court situations. He has navigated complex financial restructurings and corporate turnarounds, business transformations and §363 asset sales across an array of industries including oil and gas, energy, retail and consumer goods, education, technology, banking, financial services, telecommunications and aerospace.
“I am thrilled to join Portage Point and contribute to the firm’s outstanding reputation and impact in turnaround and restructuring,” Brown said. “I look forward to working alongside this blue chip team and leveraging the immense knowledge and expertise on this platform to help clients navigate their most challenging and complex transactions.”
“Along with the recent addition of Olivier Blechner, Coley joins Portage Point at an exciting phase of growth for the TRS practice and the firm,” Tom Studebaker, managing director and co-head of TRS, said. “Coley brings deep expertise that will be leveraged across the TRS team, as well as our other integrated suite of services including performance improvement, transaction advisory services, transaction execution services, interim management, investment banking and office of the CFO. We are excited to have him join the team.”
“Throughout his career, Coley has demonstrated exceptional operational execution and leadership,” Matthew Ray, founder and CEO of Portage Point, said. “His ability to craft and implement effective restructuring strategies has consistently resulted in driving stakeholder value and delivering meaningful client outcomes. I look forward to seeing the positive contributions he will bring to Portage Point.”
