Horowitz will lead the firm's infrastructure build-out and provide the leadership, management, and vision necessary to effectively support Cottonwood's investment objectives and strategic initiatives. In addition to his role as COO, Jeff will remain active in executing special situations investment opportunities aligned with Cottonwood's absolute return strategy. Horowitz has 16 years of investment, credit and restructuring experience, with a focus on distressed credit and special situations investments.
