Spearheaded creation of Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization that had not posted a profit in five (5) years, which was running at a negative cash flow rate and was over-staffed.

Negotiated new $3.5M line of credit for financially distressed company which replaced its old $3M line of credit (a $500K increase, or 17%), which allowed the company to continue to function.

Developed creative solution for cash flow deficit company to increase its working capital via negotiating with the primary customer of the company to pay for the work-in-process on an estimated basis during the week that the work was being performed.
