CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - January 21, 2009) - MorrisAnderson is pleased to
announce that Michael J. Musso has joined their Atlanta office as a
Managing Director.
Dan Dooley, principal and COO, states, "Mike has more than 20 years of
extensive experience as a senior executive within a variety of industries,
including educational products, business services, technology and consumer
goods." Adds Dooley, "Mike's skill set extends to turnarounds;
organizational change; financial management; mergers and acquisitions;
sales and marketing strategy; and beyond. With his extensive experience
and skill sets, as well as his impressive track record, I have no doubt
that Mike will be a valuable asset to our Southeast Team as we continue to
expand our services throughout that region. As part of Mike's initiation
to the firm, his first day on the job we put him on a plane to Sweden to
work on a project for one of our clients. We like to say that
MorrisAnderson's consultants are 'hands-on' and can hit the ground running.
That has definitely been the case with Mike and it truly translates to all
of our employees -- a very important asset during these troubled times when
so many distressed companies need us to act quickly to help them through
the challenging times they are facing."
