The Australia expansion of A&M’s Infrastructure & Capital Projects Group strengthens leadership, augments regional services and capitalizes on strategic market investments

PERTH, July 17, 2023 – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) announces the recent expansion of its Infrastructure and Capital Projects (I&CP) Practice into Australia under Managing Director Fabio Missiato Antunes, previously with A&M Brazil. I&CP’s Australia market entry represents another strategic plank in the expansion of A&M’s platform and builds on the global operations and multiple country presence of this offering. 

Luis de Lucio, Managing Director and head of A&M Emerging Markets, observed, “A&M’s deep knowledge of many capital-intensive industries is woven into its I&CP offering. The firm’s I&CP line of service complements its other Southeast Asia and Australia (SEAA) business unit practices and furthers our expertise with the capital expenditures (Capex) investment cycles of complex assets. Our I&CP expansion in Australia aligns with A&M’s integrated global platform, operational heritage and results-oriented mindset.” 

A&M’s expanding geographic footprint in Australia, along with the firm’s ability to strategically deploy talent, is highlighted by the recent appointments of Managing Directors Timo Schmid to lead the firm’s Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI) practice in Australia, and Nick Reid to lead A&M’s Perth office. In addition, Managing Director Renee Klimczak recently moved from the US to serve as the overall Performance Improvement practice leader for Australia and New Zealand. 

Utsav Garg, Managing Director and Head of the SEAA business unit, hailed this demonstration of A&M’s regional commitment and mission to maximize value through combining technical expertise, industry knowledge and strategic vision. "The addition of Fabio and I&CP to our growing Australia team bolsters our ability to help clients seize opportunities and solve for complex problems. Our clients are increasingly seeking capital investment solutions across the clean energy, mining, oil and gas and transport sectors where A&M has extensive expertise and deep bench strength.” 

Mr. Antunes noted, “The richness of Australia’s natural resources, and its leading role in transitioning to clean energy, fits with A&M’s heritage of driving change. I&CP’s initial foothold in the region, jumpstarted by our growing presence in Australia, positions us to help local and cross-border clients address this growth market.” 

Global Head of Infrastructure & Capital Projects, Marcos Ganut, highlighted the move, “A&M continues to build I&CP’s global capabilities and provide the leadership to best address clients’ current and future needs. The firm leverages and deploys talent to create solutions unbound by geography. Fabio’s move to Australia is clear evidence of our commitment.”
