Independent advice and commercial due diligence, from an investor who has sat on both sides of the table.

Gary spent more than fifteen years as an investor before founding GHAL Consulting in 2024. Most recently he served as a Portfolio Manager at Icahn Capital, a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises, a diversified holding company engaged in a variety of businesses. Before that he spent eight years at Silver Point Capital in distressed debt and special situations, underwriting investments across the capital structure and restructuring companies through Chapter 11 and out-of-court processes. He began his career at Stockbridge Investors, the public-equity affiliate of Berkshire Partners, a leading middle-market private equity firm.

Gary has served as a non-executive director of six public companies, four of them Fortune 500. All were companies navigating transformative M&A, radical technological or market shifts, or wholesale strategic repositioning. He has served on four public-company audit committees and has been designated an Audit Committee Financial Expert; he has also served on three M&A and transactions committees and on multiple compensation and nominating & governance committees.

Gary founded GHAL Consulting to do the part of the job he found most useful: forming a view he would be willing to back with his own capital. He holds two degrees, summa cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania, and lives in Miami with his wife and young daughter.
