Approach and Philosophy

Many private equity investors, board members and CEOs often struggle with key challenges to the business such as:

  • Our company is not delivering to plan at EBITDA level. What actions can management take to put the business back on the right path?
  • Our (portfolio / group) company is not producing enough cash and, if economic conditions worsen, it may not be able to meet debt obligations. How can we support our borrowing and continue to invest in developing profitable growth?
  • Profitability is a major concern. Does management have the best plan or could performance be improved with a more aggressive approach?
  • We seem to be locked in a constant cycle of underperformance and cost reduction. How do we break the cycle and return the business to a stable footing?
  • Could we or our management team benefit from the support of interim managers, who have weathered countless economic cycles, to drive financial and operational improvement at both the top and bottom lines?

Since 1983, Alvarez & Marsal has been working with corporate executives, boards of directors, private equity sponsors and portfolio companies through myriad economic cycles to power boost the executive and functional capabilities of both high performing and underperforming businesses.

Our team of professionals is made up of both senior operating executives, who bring hands-on experience leading and driving change, improvement and turnarounds in line management roles, and consulting and advisory experts, who possess a broad range of experience advising boards and investors, and rapidly developing and implementing comprehensive performance improvement programs across various industries.

Working in compact teams, our senior professionals bring a hands-on and holistic approach to problem solving, overcoming challenges, nurturing potential and initiating positive change. Whether serving in an advisory capacity for an underperforming company or in interim management roles within a turnaround and restructuring setting, we draw on a deep operational heritage and proven approaches, such as our proprietary diagnostic — the Rapid Results ™ Program, which helps to quickly and effectively assess business process management risks and identify key areas impeding performance.

Let A&M help you accelerate results.
