Operations Vice President Alexis Parisi’s commitment to supporting others began organically. As the oldest child in a big family, she assumed the role of guide and mentor for her siblings, and that experience naturally carried over when she entered the workforce. Alexis embraces a saying she learned as a Bonfire. leadership development facilitator, “Lift while you climb.” This commitment to bringing others along as she advances in her career is a quality she sees within her AlixPartners Ops colleagues as well. “In my past, I focused on developing team members working under me. At AlixPartners, we develop each other at all levels.” For example, Alexis collaborated with a Partner and Managing Director to enhance a presentation. She also received valuable feedback from peers on effective client interaction when transitioning into consulting from industry. Another aspect that has helped Alexis’ development is the hands-on nature of our Ops team. Her favorite moments occur on a distribution center floor, where she aligns her observations with the data she analyzes and actively collaborates with her colleagues and the client team. “At the end of the day, we all want to deliver exceptional work for the client,” Alexis reflects. “Supporting each other brings us closer to success.”

Yujing Sun, CPA, CFA started her career as a tax associate at a Big Four firm. Working primarily with private equity and hedge fund clients, she enjoyed the fast-paced environment and being part of a global team, but she wanted more exposure, both to the full scope of her clients’ businesses and to their senior leadership. After earning an MBA from UVA’s Darden School of Business, she joined AlixPartners, initially as a member of the Turnaround and Restructuring team before transitioning to the M&A team in early 2023. The M&A team works across the entire deal cycle and is industry agnostic, and so each engagement offered a new experience and challenge. On one of her first M&A engagements, an integration for an Aerospace company, she realized the exposure she was after during her tax consultant stint. Yujing worked on optimizing the org structure and built the model to assess the financials for the company post-integration. When it came time to present her findings to the CFO, the Director she was working with asked her to take the lead on the presentation. “She said, ‘this is your work, so you should be the one presenting it to the CFO,” Yujing recalled. “That gave me exposure on the client side that I did not have before, and I really appreciated the ownership I had within the engagement and the team.” That level of trust has been a constant during her time with the M&A team, which she says has a family, close-knit vibe. Notably, practice leadership is engaged in each member’s career growth, and everyone is involved in internal practice development. Yujing was given free rein to establish the process for onboarding new team members and created a skills database to assist in staffing and teamwide capability development. “Even though it was my first year in M&A, I received a lot of guidance on how to progress my career,” said Yujing, who was promoted to Senior Vice President last fall. “I have ownership of where I want to develop myself and people actively looking for opportunities for me to do so. It’s been a great experience.”  Learn more about our M&A careers here: https://lnkd.in/eddgg8hm #lifeatalixpartners #consultingjobs #mergersandacquisitions
