As Schoenenreus' curator in 2015, I collaborated with Joyce van Iersel, whose knowledge was invaluable. GA Europe, led by Tino Bauer, facilitated a company restart, then recruited Joyce to their team. Together, they've excelled at distressed business turnarounds, and I've transitioned to working with them as a lawyer on successful deals, with a partnership that continues to grow.
