London, 22 September 2022 – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) continues to expand its digital practice in EMEA with the appointment of Mathias Bombardi as a Managing Director – Digital Strategy EMEA.

An expert in driving value creation at the intersection of business, product, and customer innovation, Mr Bombardi will lead the expansion of A&M’s digital strategy capabilities across EMEA. He specialises in helping clients – from legacy incumbents to challenger brands – execute industry-specific strategies that embrace the full potential of digital. He has personally advised a number of leading B2B and B2C telcos, media companies, banks, payment providers and industrial product manufacturers. In his new role, based in London, he will help companies across industries, including private equity firms and their portfolio companies, realise greater value from their growth aspirations, strategies and investments.

Mr Bombardi has close to 20 years’ experience in digital strategy and transformation. Prior to joining A&M, he was a Partner at IBM, where he launched and scaled a diverse capability focused on industry transformation and enterprise strategy in EMEA and the Americas. He has also held leadership and consulting roles at Booz Allen Hamilton and Accenture.

Jean Laurent Poitou, Managing Director – Digital EMEA, said, “Companies are under mounting pressure to drive efficiency. There has never been a more critical time for companies, across all industries, to frame, explore and realise greater value faster, through end-to-end business strategies that deliver digitally powered, profitable new business models, products and solutions. Mathias brings valuable digital business creation and transformation experience in sectors that are currently facing the most disruption and will play an important role in the scaling up of our digital capabilities.”

Mathias Bombardi, Managing Director – Digital Strategy EMEA, said, “What excites me about joining A&M is the opportunity to create and scale a unique proposition in the market, helping clients accelerate their growth and innovation journeys."

“Businesses are facing existential challenges: cross-industry disruption, changing customer behaviours and needs, scrutiny of the social, environment, and financial sustainability of their brands, and rising geo-political and economic risk across the global financial system and supply chains. To win in today’s market, companies must adapt, foster a customer obsession mentality and become future-fit, faster. Leaders need to embrace digitalisation to continuously reinvent themselves and create the profitable brands, products, services, and experiences that customers actually want.”
