In her new role as Managing Director, Koorenny will be responsible for AlixPartners’ General Counsel, supporting leadership, internal consulting teams as well as clients with legal matters. “Kathryn is an accomplished attorney who brings exceptional experience, passion and energy to her work,” says Fred Crawford, CEO of AlixPartners. “I look forward to working with her and believe she will bring a unique perspective to the senior leadership team.
