Hilco Global Welcomes New Leadership Team
In a significant move towards bolstering its advisory practice, Hilco Global, a diversified global financial services firm, has announced the appointment of Robert Gorin and David Campbell as Co-Executive Directors of Getzler Henrich Associates (GHA). This change in leadership is designed to further enhance the firm’s capabilities in corporate turnaround and restructuring, ensuring sustained growth and continued excellence.
Both Gorin and Campbell step into their new roles succeeding Bill Henrich and Joel Getzler, who have decided to transition to senior advisory positions after decades of steering the company’s success. Bill and Joel expressed their pride in the legacy they built over the past 55 years, and they believe that the experience and dedication of their successors will uphold the high standards of GHA.
Robert Gorin comes to this new role with over three decades of experience in corporate turnarounds, operational enhancements, and strategic development. His previous position as Senior Managing Director at GHA equipped him well for this leadership challenge. Throughout his career, Gorin has successfully led transformational initiatives in various sectors, including consumer products, manufacturing, and apparel. In his own words, Gorin stated, “I am honored to continue building on GHA's incredible legacy and to lead such a talented team as we help clients navigate their most complex challenges.”
Alongside Gorin is David Campbell, who has over 20 years of expertise in corporate restructuring, capital markets, and leveraged finance. He previously served as a Senior Managing Director at GHA as well, where he facilitated crucial restructuring and recapitalization projects across numerous industries. Campbell has effectively helped firms within healthcare, automotive, metals, and technology sectors tackle complex issues while maximizing value for stakeholders. He expressed eagerness to continue the impressive reputation established by Bill and Joel, emphasizing his commitment to delivering innovative solutions to clients and stakeholders.
This leadership change follows the acquisition of a majority equity interest in Hilco Global by ORIX Corporation USA, leading to a reorganization of its advisory businesses into the Hilco Global Professional Services division. David Kurtz, Vice Chairman of Hilco Global and CEO of Hilco Global Professional Services, noted that the ongoing growth of the Getzler Henrich practice is a top priority as they aim to scale this division significantly. He remarked, “We’re confident that Robert and David are well-positioned to lead GHA into this next growth chapter.”
