In this episode of the Turnaround Management Association’s (TMA) Chicago/Midwest podcast, Restructuring Partner and host Paul Musser sat down with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TMA, Christine Melendes. Christine, who became the CEO of TMA in March of this year, is an association executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience, having previously spent over 12 years at the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), a "cousin organization" to TMA, where she built strategic partnerships, grew membership programs and led innovation across complex global networks. Their discussion covered her non-traditional path to the CEO role, her early priorities and long-term vision, TMA's response to industry trends such as artificial intelligence (AI), and her insights on networking and business development.
