Kyle Lemmon rejoins A&M as a Managing Director, bringing multi-sector, large-scale transformation expertise in response to growing market demand.

NEW YORK, December 17, 2024 - Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal announces the appointment of Kyle Lemmon as a Managing Director within its Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI) group focused on the firm’s Transformation Services offering. Mr. Lemmon, who specializes in helping clients navigate large-scale strategic transformations, rejoins A&M furthering its ability to support private equity (PE) clients in their quest for portfolio value creation, profitability, and growth.

Mr. Lemmon brings more than a decade and a half of successful performance improvement experience across a spectrum of transformation-related issues, including growth strategy, M&A strategy, operational performance improvement, organizational design, and cost optimization for diversified industries to A&M. He specializes in developing innovative approaches that drive the transformation required for optimizing successful exit strategies, amidst unprecedented macroeconomic and financial pressures. Working with large cap and mid-market PE clients, Mr. Lemmon is known for his significant consumer and industrial goods and services, real estate, food and beverage, and transportation sector expertise.

Nick Alvarez, Managing Director and Global Practice Leader of A&M’s Private Equity Performance Improvement group, said, “Kyle’s experience executing large-scale transformations aligns perfectly with A&M’s mission of helping PE clients maximize value across the portfolio company life cycle. Kyle credits the strength of A&M’s culture, people, and results-driven approach for his return to the firm. His laser-focus on growth is what we’re known for and why clients entrust their most complex challenges to us.”

Previously, Mr. Lemmon served at BCG, and most recently as a Managing Director at EY-Parthenon, where he focused on delivering operational performance improvement and strategic initiatives for corporate and PE clients.

Markus Lahrkamp, a Managing Director and leader of A&M’s Private Equity Services Commercial and Operational group, commented, “Our continued investment in senior transformation talent reflects our understanding that basic cost-cutting measures and traditional operational improvements are no longer enough to get the job done. Kyle’s successful track record developing and executing transformative strategies will help our PE clients hone portfolio strategies aligned with their goals. His return to A&M highlights the firm’s enduring reputation for fostering a collaborative, productive, and entrepreneurial environment.“

Carlos Vincentelli, a PEPI Managing Director with A&M’s Transformation Services offering, remarked, “Transformation has become the cornerstone of private equity portfolio company value creation, and our clients are calling for creative initiatives. Kyle knows how to help clients maneuver large-scale, transformation complexities with an eye on driving present day change to better insure future profitability.”
