Rowan Mawa is a Managing Director with Alvarez & Marsal Performance Improvement in Sydney. He specializes in margin improvement, strategy and transactions for both corporates and private equity portfolio companies.

Mr. Mawa’s primary area of concentration is healthcare, where he has operating experience through and out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With more than 18 years of experience across consulting, industry and law, Mr. Mawa has led industry and consultant teams that have delivered more than $1 billion in CFO-verified EBIT improvement. This value creation was mostly in the context of large-scale corporate transformations in healthcare, technology, telco and energy. 

Mr. Mawa brings specific expertise in operating model redesign and structural cost reduction for large network-based businesses, having led 15 such programs across Australia, New Zealand and Asia. His other recent work has included the step-out growth strategy for an Australian power retailer, leading to the creation of an EV mobility new business; two post-merger integrations for a global IT services organization; and the zero-based organizational redesign of a building products conglomerate.

Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Mawa spent nearly three years with Healius Limited, a listed pathology, radiology and clinical trials business in Australia, where he was Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer. During that time, he was responsible for portfolio strategy (one acquisition and two asset sales); delivered more than AU$100 million in EBIT improvement from 100+ initiatives and working with ~130 business owners; and defended a hostile takeover bid. Previously, he was with McKinsey & Company for nearly 10 years, including as a leader of the Service Operations practice in Asia.

Mr. Mawa earned bachelor’s degrees in arts and law from the University of Sydney.
