Alvarez & Marsal’s global transaction advisory group (TAG) continues to strengthen its market readiness to service clients globally with the promotion of Stacy Kirshner, managing director, to co-leader of TAG U.S., alongside Anthony Caporrino, managing director. Kirshner will partner with Caporrino, global TAG’s longtime regional leader for the U.S., to steer the unit into its next era.
Kirshner, who has been with global TAG for over a decade, joined the practice’s U.S. executive committee in 2022 and has contributed to both building and executing against its regional growth plan since. Kirshner previously led TAG U.S.’s financial services sector team, deepening and nurturing its bench of experts in the space.
In EMEA, global TAG appointed Frederic Steiner, managing director, to country co-leader of A&M France, transitioning the role from TAG EMEA co-leader, Jonathan Gibbons, who will maintain his practice leadership for the region.
