Turnarounds & Beyond - Sun Capital's Marc Leder (Privcap video)

June 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Turnarounds and Beyond

When Sun Capital Partners acquires a deeply distressed business, its first goal is to stop the bleeding, according to Marc Leder, Co-CEO of the distressed and turnaround firm. What comes next ranges from financial triage to, a hands-on effort to instill a better corporate culture.

In a wide-ranging interview with Privcap, Leder discusses the current activities of his $8 billion firm. He discusses the effects of the ongoing global financial turmoil on Sun Capital’s deal flow, the difference between trading-oriented and control-oriented strategies, how to identify a company worth saving, why his firm’s deals and exits are not “driven by the markets,” the frequency with which portfolio company managers need to be removed, what the consumer-oriented companies in his portfolio indicate about the economy, whether the “distressed” label scares away some sellers, and why Sun Capital is “very busy” in Europe and the US, but for “completely different reasons.”
