MACCO Restructuring Group Adds Two Managing Directors and Senior Financial Analyst as Firm Builds Bench for Larger Engagements

MACCO Restructuring Group, a national business restructuring and financial advisory firm, announced the appointment of Mark Alley and John Gorman as Managing Directors, both based in Houston, and Mason Gavilan as Senior Financial Analyst, based in New York. According to the firm's announcement, the appointments follow the recent addition of Senior Managing Director Walt Brown and represent the next phase of the firm's growth, adding cross-border operating experience, a lender's perspective on distressed credit, and analytical depth to support larger engagements.

Gorman has operating and workout experience across 53 countries. He held commercial lending and restructuring positions at two major Texas bank holding companies, where he managed the valuation and liquidation of more than $1 billion in non-real estate assets taken in settlement or foreclosure and served on secured creditor committees. As CFO of an independent exploration and production company, he led negotiations on more than $500 million in farmout transactions across several African countries. Alley's background includes leading the transformation of a $140 million company, which the firm says added about $13 million to earnings, and serving as Managing Director of a Central European privatization investment fund, where he consolidated a portfolio from 61 companies to 17. He most recently served as CEO of an oilfield technology company.

Gavilan joins from a background on both sides of the Chapter 11 process, including debtor-side financial advisory and claims and case administration. He has worked on Chapter 11, Chapter 7, and Subchapter V cases, receiverships, and wind-downs, and specializes in 13-week cash flow forecasting, variance reporting, and bankruptcy schedules and statements. Walt Brown said adding Gavilan allows managing directors to focus on client needs.

The appointments add New York to MACCO's footprint, which also includes Houston, Kansas City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Florida. The firm said the hires deepen its cross-border experience across Latin America, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe. MACCO, led by Founder and CEO Drew McManigle, serves debtors, lenders, private equity, and creditors nationwide.
