At Canyon Capital, she primarily focused on stressed and distressed investments as well as corporate securitizations, and she led the collateralized loan obligations business. She played key roles in complicated bankruptcies, serving as a leading creditors’ committee member for Puerto Rico, and as a restructuring committee member for U.S. airlines in the wake of the September 11 attacks. In 2017, she was named one of the “50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds” by the Hedge Fund Journal and Ernst & Young.
