NEW YORK (MAY 15, 2018) – AlixPartners, the global consulting firm, today announced the appointment of Lisa Carnoy as its Chief Financial Officer.  In this role, she will serve on the firm’s Management Committee.

A seasoned financial executive, Lisa joins AlixPartners after 23 years of leadership experience at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, most recently as the Division Executive for the Northeast at U.S. Trust, the private bank within Bank of America, and as NYC Market President for Bank of America.  Prior to her move to Wealth Management, she served as head of Global Capital Markets and head of Global Equity and Equity-Linked Capital Markets for Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

“In Lisa, we are tremendously fortunate to have found such an experienced and operationally strong financial executive,” said Simon Freakley, CEO of AlixPartners. “She has a proven track record of delivering results in the various businesses she has run, by serving clients, growing revenues, and building cross-team relationships.  She will be instrumental in helping us meet our ambitious growth goals, through profitable growth and a disciplined financial approach.”
