Global consultancy Kearney has promoted Alberto Fumo to European lead for the firm’s Private Equity and M&A practice (PEMA). Based in London, Fumo has risen through the ranks in the firm over the last eight years developing the PEMA practice.
Fumo brings more than 20 years of advisory experience with private equity funds, venture capital, and corporations to the role. During this time, he has successfully advised on more than 300 acquisitions, mergers, and divestitures. In his new role, will be tasked with growing the firm’s footprint in the PE and Corporate M&A sector across Europe.
The firm’s Private Equity and M&A practice has grown substantially over the past five years. Kearney has recently added more names to its leadership team with the announcement of Jan Timmermann and Oleg Zubarev as new partners in the UK and similar senior appointments across all European markets. Under Fumo’s leadership, the practice will aim to further accelerate growth in the region and continue to push for stronger propositions for clients across the full transaction cycle.
Fumo says: “I am delighted to be taking on the role of European lead for Kearney’s PEMA practice. We have a unique, talented and growing team at Kearney, as well as a strong track record for delivering strategic insight and rapid value creation across Europe for our Private Equity and Corporate clients. I look forward to seeing the team carry on its ambitious growth.”

Private equity firms will play an important part in how our economy emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic, and the industry is well-placed to make a positive contribution with sustainable and responsible solutions. We look forward to helping our clients to move forward and thrive in the coming months.”
