Roger L. Schoenfeld, Associate Advisor

A JD and CPA with significant operating and transaction experience in the industrial sector, Roger Schoenfeld leveraged his skills as a transactional attorney in Chicago to become a very successful entrepreneur. Over the past twenty years, he acquired, founded and operated custom metal components manufacturers, a metal safe manufacturer, a title insurance company, and an M&A and consulting boutique.

Roger sucessfully navigated his manufacturing companies through a substantial business downturn through stringent cash management, cost containment, debt reorganization and operating effciency improvements. He has significant operating experience in many aspects of the manufacturing environment, including accounting, finance, operations, quality control, outsourcing, sales and marketing.

Mergers and acquisitions were a large part of the strategy and growth behind his manufacturing business, that was sold to a larger competitor. Since then Roger developed his corporate finance and consulting practice to specialize in helping under-performing industrial manufacturers and distributors with crisis management, turnaround consulting and divestiture options.

Roger obtained his JD, with honors, from Georgetown University Law Center and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from Indiana University. He is married with three sons. He serves on several boards of non-profit organizations and coaches his sons' sports teams throughout the year.
