About Walter Simson

Walter Simson has over 35 years of turnaround management experience. Upon turning around a family manufacturing firm, he studied finance at NYU’s Stern Graduate School of Business with bankruptcy pioneer, Dr. Edward I. Altman.

After earning his MBA he joined Allomet Partners, a Turnaround Management Association founder firm. Simson has completed over 40 successful turnaround engagements including bank workouts and refinancings; chapter 11; performance improvement assignments and interim or permanent management as both a CEO and CFO.

Simson’s assignments are usually on behalf of the debtor, whether in the form of a PE firm, trust or family ownership. For many years he managed a dedicated team of analysts and accountants courtesy of a major CPA and consulting firm. This structure provides an experienced team with great flexibility and no pressure to artificially extend consulting engagements.

Prior to his consulting career, he worked at the Chase Bank where he completed a number of international assignments. He graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Comparative Literature.
