The AlixPartners ESG Impact: Annual Review 2022

Global ESG Lead
Only one Earth
There is no shortage of urgent issues demanding our
focus. When I try to prioritize mine, I hear the hum of
our planet, the vast and verdant world that holds all of
us up as we go about our busy lives. It's calling on
me-on us-to do more before it's too late.
When I joined AlixPartners more than seven years ago, I was a restructuring
professional advising clients through the most critical stages of their
businesses. Project after project, I saw our ability to help major companies
weather their challenges and thrive while simultaneously making a meaningful
impact. Inspired by watching my colleagues accomplish great things again
and again, I committed myself to a different type of When It Really Matters
work: protecting and sustaining our planet for future generations.
At AlixPartners, we have a history of helping to rescue economies, empower
communities, and implement solutions to environmental and social crises.
Our teams help transform leadership at top companies in ways that save
businesses and jobs, we help organizations leverage technology to mitigate
risk, waste, and carbon emissions, and we identify tactics for performance
improvement across industries. We simultaneously apply our expertise in pro
bono projects, volunteerism with community organizations, and mentorship
for younger generations. One firm cannot solve every problem that challenges
a sustainable future, but AlixPartners is uniquely equipped-and motivated-
to do more than our share to better our society and protect our planet. That
sincerely energizes me.
I am honored to lead a team at AlixPartners committed to growing a culture
of awareness and accountability. I'm energized by what we've already
accomplished-from achieving carbon neutrality, operating more sustainably,
to building a growing sense of belonging fostered by our Diversity & Inclusion
strategy, and living our Core Values.
I am eager to further that progress.
