William Snyder will co-lead the Deloitte CRG practice with the current practice leader, Sheila Smith.

“Combining our talent and hands-on turnaround and restructuring experience with Deloitte’s extensive offerings and global reach will enable us to create a world-class restructuring practice,” said Snyder.
