The Anatomy of a Turnaround, From $3 Billion in Restructures to $1 Billion in Restored Value

In this episode of GO4CEO, host John P. Andrade sits down with James Martin, Managing Partner at ACM Capital Partners, a firm known for leading some of the most complex corporate restructurings and capital transformations across North America.

With a career spanning multiple industries from aviation and automotive to medical devices and manufacturing James has personally led the restructuring of companies totaling over $3 billion in revenue, restoring more than $1 billion in enterprise value and guiding $1 billion+ in capital raises alongside $500 million in M&A transactions.

This conversation goes far beyond the numbers.
James shares the decision frameworks and financial instincts that help CEOs and business owners:

Spot early warning signs before a financial crisis hits

Navigate high-stakes debt and lender negotiations with clarity

Balance leadership under pressure with operational discipline

Protect enterprise value during market volatility

Avoid the hidden risks that quietly erode profitability

You’ll also hear firsthand how he helped companies survive and thrive during interest rate squeezes, supply chain crises, and industry contractions turning near-failure into long-term sustainability.

Whether you’re running a $5M family enterprise or a $500M corporate group, this episode gives you a front-row seat into the mindset of a financial surgeon who’s rebuilt companies from the ground up.

📘 Key Takeaway:
Leadership isn’t proven when times are good it’s revealed when everything is on the line.
