Name: Lynn Tilton Title: Founder and CEO Company: Patriarch Partners Presentation: Coming Soon
Ms. Tilton serves as chief executive officer and sole principal of Patriarch Partners, LLC and its affiliated entities (“Patriarch”), a private equity firm managing. She is well recognized by television and print media alike for her modern day industrialist efforts to rebuild America. Her labors, since the founding of Patriarch have saved over 200,000 jobs and more than 100 companies from liquidation. In 2009, she was honored with the prestigious Turnaround Atlas Leadership Achievement Award for her work in distressed investing.
Ms. Tilton has dedicated herself to being an advocate for rebuilding America's manufacturing base and a voice for small and middle-market enterprises (SMEs) and their employees. Concerned about the dearth of lending to SMEs, she has proposed a public-private investment program to encourage lending to these companies. Ms. Tilton’s SME Rescue Loans plan (www.smerescueloans.com), will save hundreds of thousands of jobs while helping to rebuild America's industrial base.
Ms. Tilton’s career spans 28 years and encompasses private equity, distressed asset management, financial engineering, high yield loan sales and trading, investment banking and senior management. In addition to her role at Patriarch, she currently serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of MD Helicopters Inc., a leading manufacturer of commercial and military aircraft.
Ms. Tilton founded Patriarch Partners to develop innovative financial solutions and to manage and monetize the distressed portfolios of financial institutions. The platform later evolved toward fund investments focused primarily upon the acquisition of companies undergoing pervasive change and loan origination to those same companies.
Under Ms. Tilton's leadership, Patriarch has positioned itself as a proactive partner to companies during periods of operational, industrial and economic transformation. Patriarch provides liquidity, time and strategic support, frequently saving US companies and US jobs. Patriarch inspires management teams to rebuild, using creative structural solutions and add-on investments in order to enhance companies' long-term values.
Prior to founding Patriarch Partners, Ms. Tilton was an executive at Long Drive Management Trust ("LDMT"), a special situations investment fund and Executive Managing Director of Papillon Partners, Inc., a firm which she founded to offer customized research, valuation and execution services to sellers of bank loans and high yield bonds. Ms. Tilton began her career at Morgan Stanley in 1981. She also worked for Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch as an investment banker until 1989.
Ms. Tilton earned a B.A. in American studies from Yale University and an M.B.A. in finance from Columbia University.
