The McManigle Company

“I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. McManigle on two occasions in which he was asked to serve as Interim CEO of troubled companies.

I worked closely with Drew on both of these assignments, first as a general counsel of a publicly traded company with respect to a troubled subsidiary, and second, as outside counsel for a company.

I found Drew to be hard working, honest and professional in all his dealings with me, as well as his dealings with the employees and the creditors of these companies. You can count on Drew to make the tough decisions necessary to achieve the goal articulated and to give you straight forward answers as to the status of such matters.

I also found Drew to be very knowledgeable about dealing effectively with creditors and have no hesitancy in highly recommending him.”

“Drew is a first rate turnaround manager. He understands working with the various constituencies in a workout, he understands cutting costs and effecting change, and he provides excellent value for his services. It’s a pleasure to work with Drew.”

“We asked Drew to step into a leading role at a troubled company to manage the preparation for and conduct of both a chapter 11 proceeding and a sale process. The case had a number of very difficult dynamics which Drew was able to handle quickly and efficiently. He was a pleasure to work with, respected by all in the matter and was able to get the job done despite enormous obstacles thrown into his path.”

“Drew is one of my go to guys to serve as an independent director or officer for my special situation transactions. He has been a tremendous asset in difficult restructuring, turnaround and distressed sale assignments.”

“Drew is a take charge person. He knows how to analyze a company’s operations in order to ferret out the problems – and then he corrects them.”

“Drew is a skilled professional in crisis management. He brings a depth of knowledge built from years of successfully handling difficult management assignments and challenges. He is one of those individuals who gets it done right the first time and every time. I highly recommend him.”

“I have had the good fortune to work with Drew when he became CEO of Southern Metal Products. As outside legal counsel to the company I found Drew to be exceptionally informed and good decision maker. Drew has a special ability to identify the problem areas and transition to a solution in short order. His background and experience allows him to apply his business acumen to numerous industries and recognize where change is required to achieve the operational goals.”

“Drew was a truly inspirational leader, dynamic communicator and always the example of  his expectations that he required from all employees regardless of their position. I am a better business person due to the time I spent working for Drew McManigle and highly recommend him without exception.”
