Gary Goldstick

Gary Goldstick is a Certified Management Consultant specializing in formulating and implementing business and financial strategies to save failing businesses. During the past 30 years he has managed the turnaround, restructuring, revitalization and liquidation of approximately 300 businesses that were under-performing or in financial distress. He has been the CEO, COO or debtor’s financial advisor in companies representing a broad range of industries including those involved in manufacturing, distribution, construction, farming, mining, services and retail. He has served as a Chapter 11 trustee and a state court receiver. He is currently involved in liquidating three Venture Capital companies that were capitalized at $75,000,000 in the late 1990s.

Gary was appointed Chief Operating officer of a large integrated vegetable processor that had been in a substantial loss position. He restructured the management team, implemented disciplined financial planning and reporting, and spearheaded the expansion of a major new product line, the “baby carrot”, now a staple on supermarket shelves. As a result, the firm achieved pre-tax profits of 12% within two years, was refinanced, and ultimately purchased by an investor group. Now he draws on that knowledge of the business world to craft Saving the Karamazovs with all of the love, betrayal, disappointments that arise in course of saving a family business.
