NEW YORK — MMG Advisors, formerly known as Marketing Management Group, celebrated its 25th anniversary last week at the New York Yacht Club here, a fitting location for cofounder and senior managing director Allan Ellinger, an avid boater.
Ellinger, along with his partners Andy Postal and Howard Feller, welcomed some 275 industry executives to the celebration, among them: Abbey Doneger, Haim Dabah, Les Berglass, Paul Rosengard, Ken Sitomer and Jason Rabin.
MMG’s business focuses on turnaround and restructuring work, as well as mergers and acquisitions.
“When I founded the firm 25 years ago, we had hoped it would be unique and sustainable. This is a milestone we’re very proud of,” said Ellinger, adding he was proud of the work MMG has done and the wealth he created for many families.
Postal said MMG has done more than $3 billion in deals over the past 10 years in such fields as apparel, textiles and jewelry, and throughout North America, Asia, Europe and South and Central America.
