  • Jeremy Adelman

    PARTNER

    Jeremy is a globally proven operator, turnaround specialist, and executive advisor with more than 20 years stabilizing distressed companies, closing complex deals, and scaling businesses across consumer, retail, tech, marketing, and hospitality.

    At Houlihan Lokey, he executed more than 20 CPG transactions totaling over $2B — sell-side, buy-side, and advisory. As a consultant and interim C-suite leader, he has worked alongside receivers, lenders, and boards to stabilize operations and preserve over $500M in enterprise value, stepping inside companies at their most critical moments to rebuild them. He is also the founder of Artis — named TIME Best Invention of the Year and featured in Forbes, the Financial Times, and Allure — scaled from a single storefront to 1,000+ retail doors including Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, and Net-a-Porter in under three years, with more than 5M units sold and partnerships with Swarovski, Rolls-Royce, and Oprah.

    Jeremy brings the transactional discipline of a restructuring banker and the raw instincts of a founder.

  • Vicki Levine

    PARTNER

    Vicki is a three-time chief executive and data-driven operator who has spent more than two decades scaling, repositioning, and turning around consumer and technology companies.

    She began her career as an engineer at Motorola, then moved into technology investment banking at Baird, advising executive teams on M&A and corporate strategy. She went on to become a founding member of Lightbank, a $200M+ early-stage venture fund. As CEO of Folica, a PE-backed beauty company, she led the repositioning of a distressed, two-decade-old business, cutting cost of goods by roughly 60%, expanding profit margin by nine points in 24 months — driving the company to a successful sale. As Co-Founder and CEO of Symbiome, she built an industry-first skincare brand backed by twelve clinical trials. As Chief Strategy Officer at Envisagenics, an AI-driven biotech, she led corporate strategy and business development. Over the years she has also advised numerous companies across real estate, technology, biotech, and fashion.

    Her work today spans finance and operations, fundraising, pricing and market fit, product development and marketing. Vicki pairs sharp analytical rigor with the instincts of an operator who has built and led the very companies she advises today.

We’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and built the operating discipline we now deliver to clients.

We are a boutique advisory firm focused on organizational optimization, interim executive leadership, and restructuring. We help companies regain clarity, rebuild operational foundations, and deliver measurable financial performance—especially in periods of transition, underperformance, or accelerated growth.

Across banking, fundraising, operating, consulting, building, and investing, we've sat in every seat that matters. We've raised capital, scaled teams, rebuilt broken systems, led turnarounds, and managed through the messy middle of both growth and contraction. We've also made mistakes — and those lessons are a core part of how we lead today.

We know what happens when priorities drift, systems break, or teams misalign because we've lived it firsthand. That hard-earned experience fuels our ability to diagnose issues quickly, design durable operating systems, and execute with precision. We're using AI right now in all our own businesses: integrating HubSpot and lead generation, tech platform and website development, and financial modeling.

We don't just advise from the sidelines. We step in, take ownership, and lead companies through critical inflection points with the clarity, pragmatism, and operational discipline that only comes from doing the work ourselves.
