Jim A. Unruh
Founder at Alerion Capital Group LLC
Profile
Mr. Unruh’s extensive experience includes general management, marketing and financial positions in several large publicly held companies where he successfully completed turnarounds, joint ventures, acquisitions, divestments, and debt and equity financings.
His industry background has been with multinational businesses providing computer hardware and software, semiconductors, information technology systems integration, consulting and support services, as well as electro-mechanical products for consumer and industrial markets.
Immediately prior to founding Alerion, Mr. Unruh was the Chairman and CEO of Unisys Corporation.
When Mr. Unruh became CEO in 1990, Unisys was in serious distress.
By mapping a new strategic course and implementing his vision through a restructuring of the business portfolio, reengineering the cost structure and spearheading organizational and cultural changes, Unisys was repositioned, financially revitalized and growing again with information technology services representing two-thirds of its $6.6 billion in revenue.
Earlier in his career as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Unruh was key to the revitalization of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation (semiconductors) and of Memorex Corporation (storage devices and media).
Mr. Unruh has also served as an outside director with nearly a dozen Fortune 500 corporations including Prudential Financial and Tenet Healthcare, in addition to private mid-market firms, entrepreneurial ventures and charitable organizations.
Current board memberships include CSG International and portfolio companies.
