Transformation expert Jim Takach joined consultanting firm AlixPartners, as a managing director in its Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) practice. He will be based in the Los Angeles office.

He also brings extensive experience managing global projects and in leading projects based outside the United States, including in Southeast Asia, South Korea, Mexico, India, and Europe.
Prior to joining AlixPartners, Takach ran his own consulting company, Aspect Consulting, where his client work included an operational transformation for a technology company based in Hong Kong and a global initiative for a Swedish company to significantly improve operating expense and working capital. Before that, he was senior vice president of client services and program management for delivery operations at Deluxe Entertainment Services Group in Burbank, CA.
