J.S. Held adds Bill Fasel to strategic advisory group
J.S. Held, a Jericho, NY-based technical and forensic advisory firm, has hired Bill Fasel as a senior managing director in its strategic advisory group in Chicago.
Fasel has 30 years of experience in financial and strategic consulting – including turnaround, restructuring, business transformation, investment banking, and strategy. He has extensive M&A consulting experience, executing buy- and sell-side acquisitions, divestitures, and capital market transactions, as well as supporting distressed M&A sales and recapitalizations.
Fasel joins J.S. Held from consulting firm Stout, where he was a managing director. Before that, he was a managing director at Grant Thornton and PwC and a director at Deloitte. Earlier in his career, Fasel was VP of corporate development at Campbell Soup Company and VP and corporate secretary at Aon.
He began his career at Lehman Brothers, where he was a VP in the investment banking division.
Fasel has an MBA from Northwestern University and a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Michigan.
"Bill's experience from both sides of the table, providing in-house corporate finance leadership at both Campbell Soup Company and Aon Corporation, as well as his extensive consulting experience across business & transaction advisory, investment banking, and business restructuring, make him an ideal addition to further deepen our bench of multidisciplinary experts as we work to help more clients realize the benefits of a single-source solution for complex situations throughout the enterprise lifecycle," said Michael Jacoby, senior managing director.
J.S. Held’s strategic advisory group offers services such as turnaround and restructuring, operational value creation, corporate finance support, sustainability and ESG, and business intelligence.
The firm has 1,500+ people across six continents providing services in technical and scientific advisory, strategic advisory, digital and data, financial investigations, valuation, and risk.
J.S. Held earlier this year named Lee Spirer as its next CEO.
