About

With over 25 years of experience in management consulting and restructuring, I have a passion for helping companies navigate complex and challenging situations and achieve sustainable results. I am currently a Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal, a global professional services firm that delivers performance improvement, turnaround management, and business advisory services to organizations seeking to transform operations, catapult growth, and accelerate results through decisive action. As a member of the Restructuring and Turnaround Management practice, I leverage my expertise in strategy, organizational design, implementation, and execution to support companies across various sectors, such as telecommunications, media, technology, consumer goods, retail, and automotive. I have successfully led and delivered numerous projects involving CRO and CTO services, in-depth restructurings, work-out programs, post-merger integrations, and carve-outs. I also have the entrepreneurial spirit and the leadership skills to work closely with management teams and stakeholders at all levels, and to drive change and innovation in challenging environments. My goal is to guide companies to success by developing holistic and sustainable action plans, enhancing their operational and financial performance, and fostering a culture of excellence and agility.
