Walter M. Denekas, CEO

He is a Certified Fraud Examiner and the founder and CEO of Sawtooth Forensics. He started his turnaround career at 24 at a floundering software company, when the president had a severe heart attack. Thus, he was thrust into the CEO role.

Walt was on the turnaround team for new acquisitions at Newell Companies (now, Newell Rubbermaid), which invented the turnaround process dubbed "Newellization."
