Alvarez & Marsal is a leading global professional services firm with annual sales of close to $1B that provides advisory, business performance improvement and turnaround management services.Four years into my tenure with Alvarez & Marsal as the Managing Director of the Eastern Division, I spearheaded the creation of the company’s analytics division from cultivating corporate buy-in to recruiting a 20-member matrix team. By presenting information in an easy-to-digest format and tying data and analytics to business priorities and outcomes, we were able to address many of the obstacles companies faced in promoting and benefitting from a data-driven culture. Through establishing myself as a trusted advisor and thought leader, I succeeded in acquiring and developing marquee clients across multiple verticals, including Financial Services, Media & Entertainment and Telecommunications and providing them with corporate performance improvement solutions. Key accomplishments included:► Drove rapid growth of the analytics practice from startup to $12M► Developed technology infrastructure for a $1B agricultural products carve-out from a $15B dairy products producer► Assumed CIO role leading successful, mid-market $50M private equity merger within a sports and entertainment products firm► Managed successful turnaround of distressed national health club business, driving sale valuation to $125M and preventing bankruptcy
