Jennifer Coram built her career in turnaround and restructuring through her work in factoring at AmeriFactors, where she helps businesses navigate financial challenges with flexible, real-time funding solutions. A defining moment came when she supported a distressed company through Chapter 11, securing critical cash flow to keep operations running—reinforcing her focus on relationships, speed, and problem-solving.

With 18 years of experience, Coram credits hard work, adaptability, and industry connections through TMA as key to her growth. Outside the office, her passion for fine dining, wine, and travel inspires her commitment to creativity, quality, and excellence—values she brings into her professional life. When she’s not working, she enjoys baking sourdough and tending a monarch butterfly garden.

Each year nearly 1,000 professionals from across the globe attend the TMA Distressed Investing Conference. Capital providers, attorneys, financial advisors and restructuring professionals come together under one roof to deepen relationships, execute transactions, and generate cutting-edge insights into the state of restructuring and turnaround.

This year, TMA partnered with Second Wind Consultants / Rise Alliance to launch a new 10-part video series that captures what industry leaders are seeing in the current market, while bringing forward real-time perspectives from participants across the restructuring and distressed investing ecosystem.

The series features candid conversations with practitioners on timely issues such as rising Chapter 11 costs, the continued expansion of merchant cash advance distress into larger and more complex businesses, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in restructuring workflows and decision-making. Participants also discuss the importance of networking and business development in a shifting environment, as well as the impact of the current interest rate and tariff landscape on margin compressions, capital availability and deal structuring.

The series will debut May 5 with “On the Leading Edge Restructuring Goals Lead the Process, featuring a conversation with TMA Global President Brian F. Gleason, CTP, J.S. Held, and TMA member Sari B. Placona, McManimon, Scotland & Baumann LLC.

Special thanks to / for producing this exciting new series.
