David A. Prolman

President & C.E.O.

David A. Prolman is the president and chairman of Prolman Associates. Prolman's 30 plus years of corporate business experience have focused on commercial finance, operations management, turnarounds, loan workouts, bankruptcy reorganizations and crisis management. Over the past 20 years, he has focused primarily on assisting companies in financial and/or operational distress. As Vice President and regional head of a problem loan group of Bank of America in the 1980's, Prolman recognized troubled businesses' need of experienced, professional, outside leadership capable of guiding them through crisis back to stable and profitable operations. Prolman Associates was formed in 1987 as a response to this need.

Having worked with a diverse client base, Prolman has experience in manufacturing, distribution, retailing, professional services and other industries including a variety of high technology companies. He and his associates have worked with clients from family owned and operated businesses to large public companies, as well as provided services at the request of, or in conjunction with, Big Four accounting firms. Additionally, Prolman has had successful experience managing debtors in possession working under collective bargaining agreements ("CBA's"). Clients with CBA issues managed by Prolman and his associates include the Chapter 11 bankruptcies of Hoffman Bros. Packing Co., Inc., the Holsum Baking Company of California, Fornaca Bakeries, Inc. and Pacific Multigrain Foods, Inc.

In addition to his experience, Prolman has developed a proven network of financial and professional resources to support clients in a variety of situations. His associates form a specialized team of experienced business executives with proven knowledge and skills in assisting troubled businesses. Under his leadership, his team has led hundreds of clients through the workout, turnaround, bankruptcy and/or bankruptcy reorganization process, as well as through periods of crisis management. Prolman and his team of management specialists have consistently provided troubled businesses the necessary services to guide them through crisis to the best possible outcome for each particular client.

Prolman has served as an adjunct professor and has lectured on banking and finance for graduate and undergraduate programs. Additionally, he was a founding sponsor of the University of California at San Diego's "Connect" program in High Technology and Entrepreneurship. He has served on the Board of Directors of the San Diego Bankruptcy Forum and the Southern California Turnaround Management Association and is a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute and the Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Advisors. Prolman holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Boston University's School of Management and an M.B.A. from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business.
