Alvarez & Marsal appointed four managing directors to its Global Transaction Advisory Group in Paris: Jonathan Gibbons, Guillaume Martinez, Frederic Steiner and Donatien Chenu.

Gibbons, Martinez, Steiner and Chenu have cross-border and global transaction experience working with private equity and multi-national corporations throughout Europe and the world. The team’s collective experience spans numerous sectors including TMT, manufacturing, retail and consumer goods and financial services. All four formerly worked with one of the Big Four firms in France.

Paul Aversano, managing director and global practice leader of the Global Transaction Advisory Group, said, “The growth of our transaction advisory presence in France supports the firm’s commitment to meet local market needs and global market M&A demands with our unique and differentiated approach. These appointments are the latest of several growth areas in France and Europe for A&M to enable us to continue our European expansion.”

“The addition of these senior transaction professionals will enable us to increase our scale and service for French private equity firms as well as France-based multinationals,” added Tarek Hosni, managing director and country leader for France.
