The practice welcomes new Managing Directors Tobias Ranker and Eric Poitevin to support growth in Germany and France 

Paris & Frankfurt – May 6th, 2026 – Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the appointments of Tobias Ranker and Eric Poitevin as Managing Directors within its Global Transaction Advisory Group (Global TAG) – with Mr. Ranker based in Frankfurt, Germany, and Mr. Poitevin in Paris, France. These hires support the continued expansion of A&M’s global platform, while deepening its industry expertise in key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and chemicals. 

Mr. Ranker brings nearly two decades of experience advising corporate and private equity clients on complex transactions with technical IFRS accounting and capital markets expertise. At A&M, he will play a key role in building and scaling Global TAG’s Capital Markets and Accounting Advisory (CMAA) capabilities for the firm in Germany and across the EMEA region. This follows the recent appointment of Jenny Arrand to lead Global TAG’s CMAA offering in Australia. His expertise spans financial due diligence, carve-outs, and transaction accounting, with a strong track record of supporting corporate growth initiatives and leading high-profile, cross-border engagements. 

Mr. Poitevin, an industry leader recognized for his hands-on execution approach and ability to navigate complex deal environments, brings more than two decades of experience in transaction advisory, serving private equity and corporate clients across the energy, infrastructure and chemicals sectors. At A&M, he will focus on expanding the firm’s functional and industry capabilities across France as well as deepening the firm’s cross-border expertise in key industry sectors.  

Paul Aversano, Managing Director and Global Practice Leader of Global TAG, added, “As we continue to expand in response to client needs in an increasingly volatile market, these appointments reflect our deliberate, strategic investment in the market-leading talent that powers our globally integrated platform. As we expand our sector exposure and capabilities like CMAA, we are attracting and harnessing the right senior talent who will both enrich and unify our services to help our clients unlock deal value while mitigating risk.” 

“Across Europe, we are seeing sustained demand for advisors who combine deep functional and sector expertise with the ability to execute seamlessly across borders,” said Managing Directors and Global TAG EMEA co-leaders Jonathan Gibbons & Philip Mitchell. “Tobias and Eric bring exactly that combination—enhancing our ability to deliver differentiated insights and transaction expertise while continuing to meet our client demand in priority markets.” 

Mr. Ranker commented, “A&M’s entrepreneurial culture and execution-focused platform create a compelling environment to deliver value to clients. I look forward to building out the CMAA offering in Germany and supporting the firm’s broader growth ambitions across EMEA.” 

Mr. Poitevin added, “A&M’s deep functional, industry, and operational expertise is a true differentiator—and a key reason I joined the firm. That breadth, combined with a relentless focus on clients, creates a powerful platform for growth. I look forward to further expanding our client relationships and strengthening our industry presence across France and the region.”
