 The firm was founded over two decades ago in the home office of the founder's home. For years, Dean Bachelor and a select team of like-minded leaders have grown the business deliberately and with passion and determination. Through referrals, treating clients’ right and adhering to strong Midwestern values, he has added about one person a year — seasoned individuals who help companies weather the tides of change. Today Platinum Group is the largest turnaround management firm in the Upper Midwest, with 350 years of combined consultant experience in creating value for business owners and investors. The company has provided advisory services to more than 500 clients, served as president or CEO/CFO/CRO of over 80 turnarounds, and sat on the board of directors for dozens of companies. Since its inception, the company has succeeded by putting itself in “the owner’s shoes” – not only mentally, but financially as well. That mindset, along with basing a significant part of compensation on results achieved, underscores the attitude that “we win if the owner wins.” While Platinum Group has changed and evolved over the years, the mission has not. Today — just as in the beginning — the mission serves as a beacon of light; guiding the daily efforts of the company as they strive to “lead companies through transition by providing strategic, operational, and financial hands-on management with the goal of restoring, creating and building value.” |
