Early life and education

Tilton was born in The Bronx,[4] raised in Teaneck, New Jersey and attended Teaneck High School, where she played on the tennis team.[5][6] Her father, Jerry Garfinkle[citation needed], was a tough New York City schoolteacher and a strong influence on her.

Tilton began her career at Morgan Stanley in 1981. She also worked for Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch as an investment banker until 1989. Prior to founding Patriarch Partners, Tilton was an executive at Long Drive Management Trust, a special situations investment fund, and Executive Managing Director of Papillon Partners, Inc., a firm which she founded to offer customized research, valuation and execution services to sellers of bank loans and high yield bonds.

Since 2000, through Patriarch Partners' affiliated funds, Tilton has had ownership in and restructured more than 240 companies with combined revenues of $100 billion.
