Alvarez & Marsal MD relocates to Hong Kong
Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has relocated Managing Director Jacques Roizen from New York to Hong Kong to support the development of the firm’s Asia team. He has been with A&M for 10 years and was responsible for setting up the revenue enhancement practice in the US and then in Europe.
Prior to joining the company, Roizen worked for McKinsey & Company as part of the retail and consumer packaged goods practices.
"Jacques' 20 years of experience in leadership roles, as both an advisor and as an executive, working with companies across the US, Europe and Asia in addressing growth and performance issues adds significantly to the A&M team in Asia," said Oliver Stratton, managing director and co-head of A&M Asia.
Stratton added that, in the light of expanding domestic consumer markets across the region yet slower macroeconomic growth in recent months, many private equity and corporate clients are looking for ways to reinvigorate businesses and improve margins.
A&M has been operating in Asia since 2003 and has a team of 40 professionals in the region, operating out of offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Mumbai.
