Kinney has experience working at Alvarez & Marsal, turnaround management firm, and McKinsey & Co., a management consulting firm. I consider them among the top firms in their respective consulting areas.
About 25 years or so ago, someone, who know that I had a great deal of experience in distressed investing, helped me get an interview with a principal in the turnaround management business. The person interviewing me had decades acting as a CRO. I was quickly asked about my skill set (accounting, treasury, operations, etc.). I had none. He recommended that I contact investment firms or try to get an entry-level position at a firm like A&M.
I have spent the last 17 years plus in residential mortgage and hold a BBA, MBA and shortly, a MS in Real Estate from three different AACSB-accredited universities. I spent my first six years of my professional life working in trust operations and commercial loan operations at one of the largest U.S. banks. Would you hire me?
