David Champeaux joins as Managing Director to lead digitally enabled solutions for healthcare and life sciences sector value creation

London – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), has appointed David Champeaux, as a London-based Managing Director to lead and grow operationally-rooted digital solutions that create value for EMEA Healthcare & Life Sciences companies. Following Jean-Laurent Poitou’s recent appointment as Managing Director of A&M’s digital business in EMEA,  Mr. Champeaux’s hire underpins the next phase of A&M’s European growth plan interlocking the firm’s digital expertise to its lines of service and operational heritage.

A&M’s unique digital proposition is built on data and analytics, customer and workforce experience, sales and marketing, as well as new digital business models that align with the firm’s legacy of operational excellence and results-driven reputation.

Mr. Champeaux brings to A&M over 25 years of advisory and operational expertise, focused on designing and delivering, for the healthcare and life sciences sectors, intelligent health journeys and digital-enabled operating models and performance improvements. He has extensive experience designing and driving sustainable, scalable digital enabled transformations and directing ecosystem-wide adoption for healthcare and wellbeing companies and government entities, across EMEA, the US and Australia, including work with several national healthcare services. Additionally, Mr. Champeaux has collaborated with technology start-ups and private sector suppliers to the healthcare sector on developing and bringing novel products and services to market.

Mr. Poitou said, “Over the last four years, we have tripled our EMEA revenues and number of professionals. David’s appointment reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to invest in digital capabilities that support this growth trajectory. Sustainable digital solutions must be scalable and generate long-term value. David’s leadership will help our EMEA-based healthcare and life sciences clients seize digital’s operational and transformational power to realize their objectives.”

Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Champeaux served as a Partner at McKinsey leading their digital healthcare offering. He has also served as a Managing Director heading Accenture’s Healthcare Strategy in the UK and Ireland and has held leadership roles with digital start-ups in the digital healthcare, mobile communications, logistics and digital storage equipment sectors.

Raymond Berglund, a London-based Managing Director with A&M’s Healthcare & Life Sciences practice, said, “Digital has the power to transform operations, propel  commercial improvements and to be the catalyst for care model innovations. David’s in-depth industry sector and digital background dovetails with A&M’s operator bench strength and leadership, action, results credo. He will add value to healthcare and life sciences clients that want to make digital work across their organizations and seek transformative results from laser-focused digital initiatives.”

Mr. Champeaux, said, “A&M serves as a digital accelerator that helps clients unlock growth and savings and improve patient access, outcomes and workforce experience without compromising other areas of their business. Disruption and digitalization will continue to create ripples of challenge and change across healthcare and life sciences. Navigating these shifts requires the pragmatic reconfiguration of workflows, skills, organization and incentive models, that A&M’s operational and digital know how foundation allows us to deliver.” 

Mr. Champeaux holds an MBA from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC) in Paris. He is a member of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Advisory Council in the UK.
