London – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has appointed Kai Hoffman as Managing Director. Aligned with the continued expansion of the firm’s Restructuring capabilities, Mr. Hoffman’s appointment supports the growth of A&M’s Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) services and capabilities.
The addition of Mr. Hoffman advances the firm’s strategic plan to augment its company-side restructuring offering regionally and across Europe and complements the recent appointment of Markus Schmid in Germany.
Mr. Hoffman brings more than 19 years of experience in restructuring and corporate finance transactions across a wide variety of sectors, including travel, retail, commodities, automotive, oil services, structured real estate, gaming and telecommunications. Throughout his career, he has advised both corporate debtors and leading stakeholder groups in various geographies.
Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Hoffman focused on larger scale restructuring and financing transactions at both Morgan Stanley and Lazard. His recent work has included financing and recapitalisation transactions in the retail and automotive sectors and lead financial advisor to zinc producer Nyrstar on its rescue financing and novel financial restructuring.
Mike Corner-Jones, Managing Director and head of Company-side restructuring for EMEA at Alvarez & Marsal, said: “Kai offers a wealth of expertise in restructuring and corporate finance. His abilities strengthen the firm’s CRO and company-side restructuring offering to clients and will enhance the firm’s ability to meet increasing demand for this kind of work. Kai’s investment banking background will help target complex and multilateral workouts acting on clients’ behalf to implement successful resolutions.”
Mr. Hoffman commented: “I am excited to be part of such a rapidly growing firm that holds a preeminent position in the restructuring market. I look forward to working with Mike Corner-Jones and the rest of the team to further expand the practice and build on A&M’s already stellar client offering.”
