Arpita Singhal joins A&M as Managing Director in life sciences
Alvarez and Marsal has announced the appointment of Arpita Singhal as a Managing Director in its life sciences division. Based in London, she will specialise in developing and accelerating large-scale digital transformation programmes for companies in the life sciences space.
Raymond Berglund, Managing Director and Head of the EMEA Healthcare & Life Sciences practice at Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), noted, “The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated that companies in the life sciences space need to prioritise agility if they are to be better prepared for future shocks. Technology has a central role to play in helping businesses improve operational efficiency and Arpita’s experience in the application of data, analytics and automation helps businesses to do just that, while also driving revenue generation and cost savings.”
Life sciences companies face mounting pressure from increasing regulatory requirements, nonstop technological advances, and intense pricing pressure. On top of this, the unprecedented events of the pandemic have provided more reason to modernise compliance, and elevate the value and partnerships within companies. As such, demand from consultants to help navigate these pressures is high.
With over 6,000 people across four continents, A&M works to deliver results for corporates, boards, creditors, private equity firms, law firms and government agencies facing complex challenges around the world. Its life sciences division offers senior consulting expertise and in-depth industry specialists to companies across Europe, aiming to help European and global healthcare companies transform their businesses, innovate, and grow in the market environment of tomorrow.
Looking forward, Singhal will lead A&M’s digital transformation and innovation services, specialising in developing and accelerating large-scale digital transformation programmes for companies in the life sciences space. Prior to joining A&M, she was the Managing Partner and Head of the UK Business at Tenthpin, a boutique consulting company, where she built a multi-million-pound digital consulting business from the ground up. Earlier in her career, she also held roles at Boston Consulting Group and EY, working with clients throughout EMEA, the US and Asia.
Singhal commented, “The life sciences industry is more outcomes focused than ever and there is increasing pressure on companies to evolve and adapt quickly. Digitisation, when applied strategically, is fundamental to helping businesses in the space achieve this. I am looking forward to working with A&M’s team of experienced operators to deliver transformative solutions for clients that prioritise value creation, people and innovation.”
