Restructuring Ready

Two out of ten investments fail. Are you prepared?

Every PE investor knows: restructuring isn’t a matter of if, but when. Yet in practice, we see that intervention often comes 12 to 18 months too late. The denial phase drags on. “Next quarter will be better.” “The market will recover.” Until you run out of cash and spiral into distress.

On April 23, we’re bringing together investors, bankers, CEOs and CFOs for an open conversation about the topic nobody likes to discuss, but everyone will face at some point.

Who should attend?

This event is specifically designed for:

Private equity investors guiding portfolio companies through different stages
Bankers working in Special Asset Management and restructuring
CFOs of mid-sized companies (100+ FTE) making strategic financial decisions
Venture capital investors with scale-ups facing growing pains

PE investors: we encourage you to bring a CEO or CFO from one of your portfolio companies as your +1.

Meet the speakers

Keynote: Joost de Haas
Joost has been in turnaround management since 2001, acquiring and turning around several companies including Roto Smeets Group. As Adjunct Professor at INSEAD, he teaches ‘Managing Corporate Turnarounds’ in the MBA and EMBA programs. His career spans McKinsey, senior executive roles in FMCG and telecom, and entrepreneurship since 1994.

This combination of hands-on turnaround experience and academic depth makes Joost uniquely qualified to address the hard questions: When do you intervene? How do you break through denial? And what separates a successful turnaround from a failed one?

Following his keynote, Joost will moderate a panel of practitioners who deal with restructuring firsthand.

Pim Honig – CEO, Clean Solutions Group
Pim and Joost go back to 2008, when they acquired Amsterdam Metallized Products together. Pim ran the company for eight years, completing two turnarounds. In 2023, he joined Clean Solutions Group for another intensive restructuring, culminating in a successful management buy-out in September 2024.

Where Joost brings the conceptual framework, Pim brings the operational reality. Together with a senior banker from Special Asset Management and a seasoned Greyt CFO, they’ll explore the dynamics between investors, banks, and management.
