Commenting on the announcement, Shiv Shivaraman, Partner

"Organizations across Asia-Pacific stands at an inflection
point. The pace of change, driven by technology, geopolitical
shifts and evolving supply chains, is creating both critical
challenges and genuine opportunities. AlixPartners is uniquely
positioned to help clients navigate these and create lasting value.
I look forward to continuing to support our clients and colleagues
as we enter the next phase of growth across the region."
Reshmi Khurana, Partner & Managing Director and
Co-Head of Asia at AlixPartners, said,
"Asia remains one of the world's most vibrant and
opportunity-rich markets. The speed of transformation across
industries is accelerating, and in this moment it’s clear
that organizations need more than strategy – they need
hands-on leadership and operational expertise working alongside
them. Together with our exceptional teams across the region, I look
forward to helping clients turn rapid industry transformation into
sustainable competitive advantage and achieve meaningful and
measurable success."
Takuro Ueji, Partner & Managing Director, Co-Head of
Asia and Co-Head of Japan at AlixPartners, said,
“Since our founding, we have built skills and assembled the
teams to help clients dramatically ’grow’ enterprise
value, ’protect’ it when the unexpected occurs, and
’restore’ it when it has been impaired. As the pressure
on management teams to transform intensifies, we are more committed
than ever to enhancing our clients’ enterprise value and
contributing to the Japanese and Asian economies.”
Tomoyuki Suzuki, Partner & Managing Director,
Co-Head of Japan at AlixPartners, said:
“As we enter the age of AI, the value expected of consulting
is changing. AlixPartners’ strength lies not only in
designing strategy, but in standing on the front line, driving
transformation through to the end, and delivering enterprise value.
By combining this strength with AI, we are more committed to
accelerating the pace of transformation, enhancing the enterprise
value of Japanese companies, and contribute to the prosperity of
Japan and the broader Asia economy.”
