When a company is in distress, the challenges aren’t only financial—they’re human. Emotions run high, trust runs low, and leadership is under immense pressure. Jessica Sanders provides practical, solution-driven guidance to help organizations navigate these pivotal moments with clarity, compassion, and tenacity.
Jessica’s restructuring expertise is rooted in lived experience. In 2016, she stepped into the center of a multi-year Chapter 11 bankruptcy, serving as the de facto operational lead for a global company facing legal, financial, and governance crises. Over the course of 3.5 years, she managed state and federal court proceedings, mediated stakeholder disputes, and represented the company in high-stakes testimony, negotiations, and regulatory interactions.
Working alongside legal teams, a restructuring firm, a federal agency, the board of directors, and a complex creditor committee, Jessica helped steer the company away from liquidation. Instead, she led the design and execution of a successful asset sale and reorganization—forming a new entity to preserve operations, value, and mission.
Today, she brings that hard-earned perspective to companies in crisis or transition—offering steady, strategic support. Whether you’re exploring options, preparing for a transaction, or navigating stakeholder negotiations, Jessica delivers clear, credible leadership through moments of uncertainty and change.
