Alvarez & Marsal hires Amit Dewan to expand debt advisory offering in EMEA
Alvarez & Marsal has appointed Amit Dewan to expand its debt advisory offering in EMEA. Dewan will strengthen A&M’s energy and infrastructure capabilities.
Commenting on his appointment, Dewan said, “Energy and infrastructure remain highly resilient sectors across EMEA, with sustained appetite from banks and funds to provide financing. A&M’s global platform is well positioned to capture the growing demand for advisory services across the infrastructure sectors, and I’m looking forward to working closely with teams across A&M to drive its continued growth across EMEA.”
A&M’s debt advisory practice now comprises nearly 40 professionals in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Dewan will lead the practice’s energy and infrastructure capability across the region, supporting infrastructure funds and strategic investors with their debt financing requirements. His arrival reflects A&M’s continued investment in infrastructure as a core offering to clients, with growing capabilities across business units and regions – with more new hires reportedly set to follow in due course.
He brings over 25 years’ experience in banking and debt structuring in the energy and infrastructure space. He has structured and advised on transactions across a wide range of infrastructure verticals including airports, EV charging, onshore and offshore wind, solar, biomass, conventional power, roads, rail networks and large infrastructure corporates.
Dewan joins A&M from EY-Parthenon where he set up and built the Infrastructure Debt Advisory practice. Prior to this, he spent 15 years at UniCredit Group, where he held various senior roles including responsibility for the infrastructure funds coverage, infrastructure and power structuring product line, and the financing and advisory businesses in the UK and Asia.
Tim Metzgen, EMEA head of A&M debt advisory, said, “I’m pleased to welcome Amit to the team as we continue to scale our debt advisory offer to deliver the best outcomes for clients. His deep sector expertise and extensive network will be instrumental in expanding our infrastructure capability across EMEA and strengthening a core focus growth area for A&M.”
