His deep restructuring and corporate M&A tax knowledge strengthens our global boots-on-the-ground network of tax professionals with multi-disciplinary expertise. His experience will help clients navigate ongoing disruption and economic volatility challenges.”

Adam Benson, a Managing Director and U.S. leader of Alvarez & Marsal’s Global Transaction Tax Advisory practice said, “Clients seek advisors who can solve for their current concerns and anticipate their future ones. Scott’s background enables him to do just that. His results-driven mindset aligns with A&M’s deep operational heritage and freedom from audit-based conflicts. He enhances our ability to help clients create value, drive change and optimize opportunities. His experience building first-class teams augments our leadership capabilities and further solidifies our position to support clients across the spectrum of their restructuring and transaction needs.”
