• A&M positions to meet growing market demand with addition of Charles Suet as Managing Director to develop the firm’s CMAA offering in France

Paris, September 12, 2024 – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal’s (A&M) Global Transaction Advisory Group (Global TAG) continues its Capital Markets & Accounting Advisory (CMAA) expansion in EMEA, bolstering its position in France with the appointment of Paris-based Charles Suet as Managing Director. Mr. Suet’s arrival is the latest in a strategic string of CMAA appointments as Global TAG executes a senior talent investment strategy to meet a growing global market demand.

Mr. Suet’s mandate to develop A&M’s CMAA offering in France, and support it across EMEA, will complement the Capital Markets and Accounting Advisory Managing Director appointments of Annika Melin Jakobsson in the Nordics and Patricia Alonso de la Fuente in Spain earlier this year, and Ayres Moura in Latin America at the close of 2023.

Paul Aversano, Managing Director and Global TAG Leader, said, “Our expanding CMAA footprint reflects our commitment to provide private equity (PE) and multinational corporate clients the global talent and resources required to support transactions and get deals done. The anticipated uptick of transactions combined with increasing regulatory complexity and economic volatility, underscores the need for a global network of trusted advisors who know how to maximize value. We’re building and positioning CMAA to not only meet this demand, but be the top consulting choice in the space.”

Mr. Suet specializes in initial public offerings (IPO), carve-outs, capital markets transactions, along with all aspects of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) across the deal lifecycle. He helps clients navigate corporate governance, risk and compliance issues as well as advising on international financial reporting standards (IFRS), U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) conversions and complex technical accounting matters. Additionally, Mr. Suet works with board and management teams, in listed and non-listed companies, on transaction accounting issues and has led national and international large- mid- and small cap IPOs.

Jonathan Gibbons, Global TAG’s EMEA Practice Co-Leader and A&M’s country leader for France, noted, “A&M’s freedom from audit conflicts enables independent capital markets and accounting advice that drives change and helps clients capitalize on opportunities. With increasing transaction volumes and complexities across EMEA, A&M’s independent advice is mission critical for clients. Charles’ appointment amplifies our global CMAA bench strength, elevates our capabilities and demonstrates our continued commitment to investment and growth.”

Mr. Suet, who previously served as a Partner within the Financial Accounting and Advisory Services group of a Big 4 in France, said, “A&M’s integrated platform supports clients at every point along the transaction lifecycle. Looking towards expected increases in deal values and capital funding, A&M’s CMAA team is well positioned to address clients’ regional, national and international needs. I look forward to driving growth for clients and to growing our team.”

Mr. Suet earned a Master in Audit & Financial Advisory from Paris IX Dauphine and is a French certified public accountant (CPA).
