Development Specialists (DSI) restructured its ownership following the death of its founder, William A. Brandt Jr., who owned 100% of the financial consulting and turnaround firm. Prior to his passing in 2023, Brandt created a leadership succession plan ensuring DSI will continue operating.
The firm is now owned by a select group of professionals and is led by a board of directors that includes long-time consultants Bradley Sharp, Joseph Luzinski, Steven Victor and Patrick O’Malley. The change took effect Dec. 28, 2023. Sharp remains president and CEO.
“DSI is committed to building on Bill’s legacy as one of the preeminent consulting and turnaround firms in the country,” Sharp said. “Since 1977, we have been guided by a single objective: maximizing value for all stakeholders. DSI excels due to the extensive experience and diverse background of our consultants, and I look forward to working with the unmatched team of professionals as we continue to grow this firm.”
