ASHISH GUPTA, 30
Senior Vice President
Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc.
New York City
Following Lehman’s
2008 bankruptcy filing,
Gupta has been the
man behind the company headlines as overseer of the restructuring, asset management and monetization of a portfolio of debt and equity
positions collateralized by asset and portfolio investments worth over $12 billion and
representing roughly 30 million square
feet of office space across several major US
markets. Through restructurings and
recapitalizations that have entailed third-party owned debt buybacks, joint venture
partner buyouts, loan modifications, new
funding facilities and change of control
actions, Gupta has created value for
Lehman Brothers Estate in complicated
and distressed situations. His portfolio has
delivered an estimated $2.5 billion recovery to Lehman Brothers, nearly $2 billion
of which has already been realized. Relative
to spot values and new capital investments
post-bankruptcy, several deals have generated multiples of two to five times capital in
less than five years’ time.
