Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has named Pierre de Raismes as Managing Director in its Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI) practice, where he will head the Private Equity Financial Services team. Based in Paris, his appointment reflects A&M’s ongoing expansion of its PEPI practice across Europe and its commitment to strengthening commercial due diligence and post-deal transformation capabilities.
Pierre joins from Bain & Company, where he was a Partner in both the Private Equity and Financial Services practices. At Bain, he led the firm’s private equity work in financial services in France and held global responsibility for post-merger integration in the sector.
With nearly 20 years of experience, Pierre has advised private equity investors and financial services institutions across Europe and the Middle East. His expertise spans the full investment lifecycle — from transactions and growth strategy to post-merger integration and operational improvement.
At A&M, he will focus on expanding the firm’s work in private equity-backed deals within the financial services sector, covering verticals such as insurance, wealth and asset management, and fintech. His arrival follows the recent addition of David Pérez as Managing Director in June, further bolstering the PEPI team’s capabilities to deliver immediate, high-impact results for clients.
KEY QUOTES:
“Pierre’s track record in leading complex transactions, post-merger integrations and large-scale transformations across the financial services sector will create immediate value for our clients across Europe. It also deepens our ability to deliver tangible, rapid impact throughout the full investment lifecycle, from due diligence to transformative value creation. We are looking forward to working closely with Pierre to make this a reality for more clients.”

“Joining A&M at a time of such impressive growth is a fantastic opportunity. The firm’s pragmatic, hands-on approach and strong commercial focus reflect exactly how I like to work. Clients today need senior teams who can deliver real progress, quickly, and A&M’s PEPI team has built a strong track record doing just that. I’m looking forward to contributing to that momentum and supporting clients through their most complex transactions and projects.”
