Robert DiNozzi

Chief Growth Officer, Partner

Robert DiNozzi serves as Chief Growth Officer for Second Wind Consultants, overseeing brand strategy and value-added relationships with lenders, investors, business intermediaries and other stakeholders. He is a leading voice in advancing a modern, commercial-law–based approach to resolving business distress without courts or bankruptcy.

Through his work developing and promoting coordinated, prepackaged Article 9 restructuring, he has helped reframe distress resolution from an adversarial, zero-sum process into a cooperative model that preserves enterprise value and aligns stakeholders around a business’s second life.

His writing and industry education have played a key role in bringing this framework into mainstream understanding, demonstrating how businesses can be stabilized and relaunched efficiently while improving outcomes for lenders, owners, employees and investors. DiNozzi is a regular contributor to the Turnaround Management Association’s Journal of Corporate Renewal, ABF Journal and ABL Advisor, and serves on TMA’s Global Board of Trustees.  

Prior to Second Wind, Mr. DiNozzi spent 15 years in Hollywood as a feature film producer and executive, overseeing the creative development and structured finance of film projects at MGM, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Walt Disney, Universal and other studios and production entities including Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment and Kopelson Entertainment.
