30 Years of Restructuring and M&A, with Christophe Callet (RSM)

When we say “restructuring,” how do you react? Don’t run away! Whether it’s on the management side—providing support in times of crisis—or on the buyer’s side, Christophe knows the field inside out. And believe it or not, this episode is full of stories! With 30 years of experience, Christophe has plenty of incredible tales—from lottery tickets to unscrupulous restaurateurs, and, of course, powerful human stories.

Turnarounds are like startups: they move fast, demand adaptability, and require a strong heart. In this episode, Christophe unpacks:

• The different terms (restructuring, liquidation, ad hoc mandate, safeguard proceedings, conciliation)
• How to react when entering the red zone as an entrepreneur
• The acquisition opportunities for startups in court
• The chance to embark on entrepreneurship differently by taking over a company in distress

And because we’re nice, here are his 3 golden rules to navigate these difficult times as best as possible:
🗣 Talk about it
🕰 Act early
❤️ Be well supported

Enjoy listening!
