TMA Announces 2023 Global President and Board

The Turnaround Management Association is proud to announce James E. “Jim” Van Horn, Barnes & Thornburg LLP, as 2023 TMA Global President. His term begins January 1, 2023. Current TMA Global President Jane W. Mitnick, SM Financial Services Corporation, will transition to TMA Chair in 2023, and Matthew S. English, CTP, Arch + Beam, will transition to Immediate Past Chair.

Jim Van Horn is a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Barnes & Thornburg LLP and focuses his practice on restructuring and insolvency law. A Chambers USA-rated attorney for the past eight consecutive years (2015-2022), Jim has deep experience working directly with senior management, investors, creditors, and other stakeholders in matters ranging from out-of-court workouts and prepackaged and prearranged Chapter 11 reorganizations to cram down plans of reorganization and sales of substantially all assets. He is experienced in representing corporate debtors, secured creditors, asset purchasers, official committees of unsecured creditors, liquidating trustees, receivers, investors, and other stakeholders in bankruptcy courts and other courts throughout the United States.

“I am very honored and excited to serve as TMA Global President. As President, I look forward to working closely with our chapters in the U.S. and internationally to enhance vibrant programming, expand membership growth, and support our highly successful Network of Women, DE&I and NextGen initiatives. I will also focus on creating more value for our members and the industry by leveraging the influence of TMA to drive restructuring and distressed transaction business to our members.”
