Mr. Silpert has worked with clients in various industries, including retail, construction, education, healthcare and manufacturing. He has worked in the U.K., Ireland, Australia and South Africa. Most recently, he assisted Revlon, Inc. through a Chapter 11 process, performing a strategic review of the brand portfolio of brands, managing the business plan preparation for markets outside the Americas, and identifying EMEA SG&A savings.

Previously, Mr. Silpert assisted with the financial restructuring of a middle eastern healthcare company with 10,000+ employees and $1+ billion in revenue. He managed external and internal stakeholders, including over 100 financial creditors; negotiated restructuring and financing terms; and analysed the optimal restructuring process to maximise creditor returns. The restructuring received 95 percent creditor approval, resulting in a debt-to-equity swap and increased enterprise value by 2-3x compared to the initial estimate.

Prior to this, Mr. Silpert contributed to the financial restructuring of a listed European bedding retailer, where he prepared a bottom-up business plan and three-way financial statement model that resulted in the successful negotiation and refinancing of existing financing facilities on improved terms. He also worked with one of Africa’s largest retailers, supporting its operational and financial restructure and managing liquidity in a heavily distressed environment, designing an optimized store footprint, and assisting with raising new financing.

Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Silpert worked for Grant Thornton on a wide variety of restructuring and advisory projects, including supporting the PMO of a NPL deleveraging, financial due diligence, financial modeling and formal restructuring appointments.

Mr. Silpert earned a bachelor’s degree in commerce from the University of Melbourne. He is a member of the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand.
