Our team has worked together for more than 10 years. Over that time, we have successfully led more than 100 turnaround or restructuring situations, creating long-term improvements that drive value well into the future. We are also well positioned to invest in companies seeking a dramatic change in their performance.”

Before co-founding SCP, Perkins was senior managing director and regional leader of Conway MacKenzie.
