Gold has spent over three decades with the firm.<br />
<br />
One major restructuring deal Gold was involved in was WorldCom in 2002. With a debt of $40 billion, it was the largest Chapter 11 filing in US history.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Treanor |first=Jill |date=2002-07-23 |title=$40bn in debt - and counting |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2002/jul/23/corporatefraud.worldcom |access-date=2024-03-20 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Former WorldCom CEO Built An Empire on Mountain of Debt - WSJ |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1041285560418700753 |access-date=2024-03-20 |work=WSJ |language=en-US}}</ref> By 2004, the company emerged from bankruptcy under the name MCI.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/20/business/worldcom-changes-its-name-and-emerges-from-bankruptcy.html</ref><br />
<br />
In 2005, Delta Air Lines announced it would be accelerating its restructuring, targeting an additional $3 billion per year in expense reductions by 2007. The restructuring process was managed by Houlihan Lokey, Gold and other executives. As part of the restructuring, it was announced that $970 million in savings was to come from debt relief, lease and facility savings, and previously commenced fleet modifications. A very small percentage of staff were cut as part of the cost saving to allow the airline to remain viable.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-02-20 |title=Delta Air Lines Steps Up Transformation Plan to Accelerate Path to Profitability |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060220094848/http:/news.delta.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=9879 |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=web.archive.org}}</ref> The restructuring and new initiatives that were introduced meant Delta would return to profitability by late 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Delta Air Lines in black for 2007 |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2008/01/21/daily26.html |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=www.bizjournals.com}}</ref><br />

== Media commentary ==<br />
In an interview with Bloomberg, Gold spoke about the industry-wide issue of retaining young talent. Young financial professionals often join firms such as Houlihan Lokey for a number of years before moving into private equity or alternative asset management. While the trend was affecting all major investment banks, Gold believed that market conditions were playing a factor. Gold suggested that, when the economy evolved into more of a bear market scenario, young talent would be less likely to move as frequently.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Houlihan Lokey's Gold on Strategy in Retaining Young Bankers |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/tosv2.html?vid=&uuid=61841d02-e6c4-11ee-86ab-f09a391e8de4&url=L25ld3MvdmlkZW9zLzIwMTgtMDUtMzEvaG91bGloYW4tbG9rZXktcy1nb2xkLW9uLXN0cmF0ZWd5LWluLXJldGFpbmluZy15b3VuZy1iYW5rZXJzLXZpZGVv |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=www.bloomberg.com}}</ref> He suggested that juniors at Houlihan Lokey were offered more job enrichment and client-facing opportunities at the firm, which he believed encouraged talent to stay at the firm for a longer period of time.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
In 2018, Gold spoke about the next cycle of material financial distress. He hoped that the triggers would not lead to a similar lack of liquidity in the markets as witnessed during the financial crisis of 2007–2008. Gold also believed that disruptive innovation and globalization in some industries had meant a number of major corporations were more directly affected by new entrants into particular markets than they were ''"say 30 years ago."''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Houlihan Lokey's Gold on Next Distress Cycle |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2018-05-31/houlihan-lokey-s-gold-on-next-distress-cycle-video |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=www.bloomberg.com}}</ref> Gold also believed that political turmoil and geopolitical issues could eventually be external factors that have deeper effects on markets, with Italy being a prime example.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Houlihan Lokey's Gold Says He's Troubled by Italy's Political Crisis |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2018-05-31/houlihan-lokey-s-gold-says-he-s-troubled-by-italy-s-political-crisis-video |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=www.bloomberg.com}}</ref> He believed that this change in market conditions could lead to an increase in restructuring.

In 2023, in an interview with Forbes, titled The Doctors of Broken Balance Sheets, Gold discussed repercussions of the Federal Reserve's rapid rate hikes following years of a Zero Interest Rate Policy fueling a speculative asset bubble.

In 2005, Delta Air Lines announced it would be accelerating its restructuring, targeting an additional $3 billion per year in expense reductions by 2007. The restructuring process was managed by Houlihan Lokey, Gold and other executives.

== Media commentary ==<br />
In an interview with Bloomberg, Gold spoke about the industry-wide issue of retaining young talent. Young financial professionals often join firms such as Houlihan Lokey for a number of years before moving into private equity or alternative asset management. While the trend was affecting all major investment banks, Gold believed that market conditions were playing a factor. Gold suggested that, when the economy evolved into more of a bear market scenario, young talent would be less likely to move as frequently.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Houlihan Lokey's Gold on Strategy in Retaining Young Bankers |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/tosv2.html?vid=&uuid=61841d02-e6c4-11ee-86ab-f09a391e8de4&url=L25ld3MvdmlkZW9zLzIwMTgtMDUtMzEvaG91bGloYW4tbG9rZXktcy1nb2xkLW9uLXN0cmF0ZWd5LWluLXJldGFpbmluZy15b3VuZy1iYW5rZXJzLXZpZGVv |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=www.bloomberg.com}}</ref> He suggested that juniors at Houlihan Lokey were offered more job enrichment and client-facing opportunities at the firm, which he believed encouraged talent to stay at the firm for a longer period of time.<ref name=":1" /><br />

In 2018, Gold spoke about the next cycle of material financial distress. He hoped that the triggers would not lead to a similar lack of liquidity in the markets as witnessed during the financial crisis of 2007–2008.
