Johnny Girardi doesn’t just negotiate deals he steps in when the pressure is highest and the stakes couldn’t be greater. For over 25 years, he’s been the trusted ally of entrepreneurs, companies, and investors facing critical situations: overwhelming bank debt, non-performing loans, or make-or-break corporate disputes.

From sitting across the table from the biggest banks to restructuring distressed companies, Johnny has built a reputation for turning complex, high-stakes problems into agreements that protect value and unlock new opportunities. His work has taken him across Europe, the US, and the Middle East, leading negotiations on transactions worth more than $1 billion.

Over the years, Johnny has also helped many companies that, for one reason or another, had lost their way. By restoring focus, renegotiating with stakeholders, and rebuilding credibility, he has guided them back on track often transforming apparent dead-ends into new beginnings.

With a sharp eye for strategy and a cool head under fire, Johnny brings clarity where there’s chaos. He knows how institutions think, where leverage is hidden, and how to shift the balance in his clients’ favor whether in restructuring, turnaround, or M&A.

Johnny isn’t just about closing deals. He’s about restoring control, rebuilding trust, and giving entrepreneurs and investors the confidence to move forward. For those who call him in, one thing becomes clear: when the stakes are high, you don’t want anyone else at the table.
