Background
Jeffrey A. Brodsky is co-founder and Managing Director of Quest Turnaround Advisors, LLC, a turnaround and restructuring advisory firm. Public company filings describe his work at Quest as providing advisory and interim management services to boards of directors, senior management, and creditors of companies.
Brodsky has held major restructuring and post-bankruptcy administration roles. He led Quest's role as Plan Administrator of Adelphia Communications Corporation from 2007 to 2019 and served as Liquidating Trust Manager of the ResCap Liquidating Trust from 2013 to 2015, where a filing states he led activities related to ResCap's Chapter 11 emergence and operations, including distribution of more than $2.2 billion to beneficiaries.
He has also served in governance roles across distressed and post-reorganization companies. A.M. Castle & Co. appointed him to its post-reorganization board in 2017; its 2020 annual report listed him as an independent director and chair of the Audit Committee. Prior roles cited in filings include Lead Director of Broadview Networks and non-executive chairman or director roles at Horizon Lines, AboveNet, Euramax Holdings, PTV, Motor Coach International, EBG Holdings, Titan Energy Partners, TVMAX, Morris Material Handling, Comdisco Holdings, and Hawaiian Airlines.
Brodsky holds a B.S. from New York University College of Business and Public Administration and an M.B.A. from New York University Graduate School of Business. He is also a Certified Public Accountant.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Public sources do not substantiate the stub classification of Brodsky as a seed-stage angel investor; the verifiable profile is restructuring, turnaround management, creditor advisory, and distressed-company governance.
- His work focuses on companies facing financial and operational difficulty, especially situations involving Chapter 11, plan administration, liquidation trusts, claims resolution, and post-reorganization governance.
- A.M. Castle's filing cites his experience in "financing, mergers, acquisitions, investments, strategic transactions, and turnaround/performance management" as relevant to his board role.
- At his June 2026 USPS nomination hearing, Brodsky applied a restructuring lens to USPS, saying the agency needed "a new plan, a long-term plan."
