Alix Partners

What Alix Partners does

AlixPartners is a privately held, US-registered limited liability partnership (AlixPartners, LLP) founded in Detroit in 1981 by Jay Alix. The firm provides results-driven management consulting services across turnaround and restructuring, performance improvement, corporate strategy and transformation, M&A, cybersecurity, supply-chain operations, technology, and risk advisory. It is organized across roughly 14 service practices and multiple industry verticals including aerospace and defense, automotive and industrial, consumer and retail, energy and process industries, financial services, healthcare and life sciences, private equity, and technology/media/telecom. Its client base consists primarily of large global corporations, corporate boards, law firms, investment banks, and private equity sponsors; visible mandates include restructuring work for QVC Group, BrewDog, STG Logistics, Affordable Care LLC, and Beyond Meat, and independent investigations such as the Super Micro Computer export-control review.

The firm is structured around senior-led engagement teams, with global co-leadership under Co-CEOs David Garfield (Chicago) and Rob Hornby (London), Executive Chairman Simon Freakley, and regional co-heads across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. It currently employs more than 3,500 professionals across 28 offices in 15 countries, with a January 2026 senior promotion cohort of 175 (including 22 to partner and managing director, 49 to partner, and 104 to director). Growth has combined organic promotion with the acquisition of restructuring and vertical-specialist practices: THM Partners (2023), Berylls (2024, ~160 employees), and KSV Advisory (Canada, June 2026); geographic expansion added Sydney, Australia in March 2026 as the 27th global office. The firm has additionally built proprietary research IP, including the seventh annual Disruption Index (surveying 3,200+ senior executives across 11 countries and 10 industries), the U.S. Risk Survey, and the U.S. Healthcare and Life Sciences Survey.

AlixPartners generates revenue through professional services fees on project-based, retainer, and advisory engagements, with engagement-level pricing handled directly between senior partners and clients and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is relationship- and referral-led, supported by a global senior partner network and thought-leadership content (the Disruption Index, sector surveys, AlixTalks podcast, World Economic Forum partnership). Technology and AI capabilities include a newly created Chief AI Officer role, a generative-AI and agentic research platform developed with Aston University, proprietary diagnostic tools (Rapid G&A Diagnostic, Organizational Health Diagnostic), an AI Disruption Score methodology, and technology alliances with Endava, River Logic, Chainalysis, Reveal, Workday, and Anthropic (Claude Partner Network). The firm operates as a partnership under no external parent and raises no institutional capital.
