Global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has appointed Tom Parkinson as a managing director in its Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI) practice, based in London.
His appointment marks the fifth new PEPI Managing Director hire in the past six months, following the arrivals of Simon Oertel in September and Javier Hernando Guijarro in December as well as Pierre de Raismes from Bain and Co in September and David Perez from BCG in June to lead the financial services and healthcare sectors in the private equity space across Europe.
Parkinson joins from EY-Parthenon, where he was an equity partner in the private equity team. He specialises in carve out due diligence and separation execution in operationally complex transactions, as well as synergy identification and realisation during complex merger integrations, advising investors and portfolio companies across the full deal lifecycle.
He will join the carve-out and merger integration team within the wider PEPI practice, bringing experience in large, transformational carve-outs, and complex separation and integration programmes. His experience spans the full investment cycle, with a focus on pre-deal due diligence, deal execution, and post-deal value creation.
