Washington, D.C. – April 23, 2026 – Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), a leading global professional services firm, announces the appointment of Dave Kim as a Managing Director within its U.S. Corporate Transactions Group (CTG). Based in Washington, D.C., Mr. Kim will expand CTG’s Aerospace, Defense, Aviation, and Space (ADAS) capabilities, specializing in financial due diligence and transaction advisory services for corporate clients. His appointment reflects A&M’s continued investment in building a differentiated, sector-focused offering that combines transaction advisory with deep operational expertise.

Mr. Kim brings more than a decade of experience to A&M, spanning a broad range of transaction types, including large-scale carve-outs, Reverse Morris Trust transactions, and strategic acquisitions of mission-critical aerospace and defense, space and government services businesses. Most recently serving as a Managing Director in EY-Parthenon’s deals practice, Mr. Kim is recognized for delivering highly targeted, decision-relevant diligence and identifying key risks and value drivers early in the transaction lifecycle.

A&M Managing Director and Global Practice Leader Paul Aversano, who leads the firm’s Global Transaction Advisory Group (Global TAG) and maintains oversight of CTG, said: “In the corporate transactions sphere, there is rising demand for a unique service provider like A&M – one with operational, industry, and functional expertise that sits across a globally integrated platform. We built and have continued to scale CTG in direct response to this demand – assertively bringing in talent and expertise like Dave’s in high-growth sectors to ensure we are best positioned in service of clients.”

Preston Parker, Managing Director and CTG Practice Leader, shared: “Dave’s ability to deliver sharp, decision‑driving insights strengthens our platform and enhances how we support clients through complex transactions globally. As we continue to grow CTG, our priority is delivering an end‑to‑end M&A solution that drives speed, value, and differentiated outcomes. Expanding our ADAS capabilities is a key part of that strategy.”

Mr. Kim said, “I was drawn to A&M’s entrepreneurial culture and its reputation for delivering results in complex, high-impact situations. The firm’s integrated platform and emphasis on practical, decision-useful insights strongly align with my experience and approach. I’m excited to help expand A&M’s ADAS capabilities and build a differentiated offering that delivers tangible value to clients.”
