NEW YORK (September 18, 2025) - AlixPartners, the global consulting firm, today
announces that Hoyoung Pak has been appointed as Chief AI
Officer (CAIO) with immediate effect.
In this newly created role, Hoyoung will assume responsibility for
driving innovation and effective adoption of AI and related
technologies both within AlixPartners and for the benefit of our
clients.
As a key leadership position within AlixPartners, the CAIO will
report directly to the firm's Co-Chief Executives, David
Garfield and Rob Hornby.
Prior to joining AlixPartners' Chicago office in 2022,
Hoyoung had an extensive career as a senior executive in a variety
of operational roles in the financial services, consumer, and
business-to-business sectors. Throughout his career, he has been a
consistent advocate and adopter of technology as a strategic tool
to create new opportunities, fuel business growth, streamline
processes, and improve returns.
Hoyoung will be joined in his client facing efforts by fellow
Partner & Managing Directors Angela Zutavern (Dallas) and Catherine Brien (London) who will serve as
Co-Heads of AlixPartners' AI & Data practice. Under their
leadership, this expert team helps clients identify and realise the
value provided by these technologies when successfully and
practically harnessed.
Commenting on these appointments, Hoyoung Pak said:
"AI is going to have a profound impact on every company in every industry – including our own. It is currently a noisy field that's long on hype and where results are not always easy to measure. But equally it is one laden with significant opportunity, for those that get it right and realize that fast does not necessarily mean first.
Cutting through complexity, moving from conversation to implementation with an absolute focus on measurable, sustainable results is the hallmark of what we do at AlixPartners. I'm excited by the challenge of unlocking the potential in today's rapidly evolving technologies to further enhance those particularly human qualities that our clients value so highly in the work that we do with them."
