Fort Dearborn Advisors Promotes Mike Joyce to Senior Vice President
Chicago, Illinois – September 29, 2009
Fort Dearborn Advisors, LLC (“FDA”) announced today that Mike Joyce has been promoted to Senior Vice President. Based in the Firm’s Chicago office, Mike has been with the firm since 2001 and has helped grow the firm’s practice in many areas.
Mike Joyce's 16-plus year career runs the gamut from creating the financial infrastructure for an e-commerce startup, to the development and implementation of substantial profit improvements for a $4 billion distribution business that were key to its $150 million debt refinancing, to facilitating debt refinancings for a convenience store operator and a fuel distributor, to leading the sale of a distressed metals fabrication business. Mike has also made significant contributions to the success of many profit improvement engagements for middle-market companies across a wide variety of industries, and has served as lead negotiator for several complex transactions for growing and highly distressed clients.
Mr. Joyce served as Controller for MVP.com and as audit manager for McGladrey & Pullen, a middle-market focused public accounting firm prior to joining Fort Dearborn. Mike earned a Bachelor of Accounting degree at Northern Illinois University and is a CPA.
