Thirty years at the intersection of finance and law, as a CPA since 1995 and attorney since 2002, have produced an unusual kind of advisor: one who can read a balance sheet, negotiate the contract behind it, and understand the regulatory framework governing both.

Shawn has served as CFO & General Counsel at Bain Capital portfolio companies, as a partner at an AmLaw 50 law firm, as Senior Director at Huron Consulting Group, and as a senior restructuring investor at Silver Point Capital. He has sat on boards of directors, managed creditor negotiations in distressed situations, and guided founders and management teams through the moments that determine enterprise value. His recent work includes restructuring engagements at companies ranging from $100M to $700M in revenue; capital structures, regulatory compliance, and go-forward strategy across manufacturing, consumer products, defense technology, and distribution.

The consistent thread is transformation: scaling companies through growth inflection points, stabilizing businesses under pressure, restructuring where required and building the financial and legal infrastructure permitting organizations to operate at the next level.
