Spehar has contributed to many of the leading firms in asset-based lending. His project list includes household-name department stores such as Sears Canada, Fortunoff, Woodward & Lothrop, Montgomery Ward, JCPenney and Eaton’s. He also led or co-led various special projects that required temporarily managing companies’ inventories, warehouses, or overall operations.
