AlixPartners’ Automotive & Industrial Practice Names Dan Hearsch Global Co-Leader, Launches New Capabilities Video

NEW YORK (July 15, 2025) – AlixPartners, the global consulting firm, today announced that Dan Hearsch, a nearly 14-year veteran at the firm, has been named Global Co-Leader of the firm’s Automotive & Industrial Practice, joining Andrew Bergbaum in that role. Simultaneously, the firm is launching to the media a new video—viewable here—highlighting the practice’s unique and broad capabilities for its clients, including that the practice is extremely results-oriented and now boasts a hefty 350 professionals worldwide.

“I am delighted to announce that Dan Hearsch will join Andrew Bergbaum to co-lead our global Automotive & Industrial industry group,” said Eric Dzwonczyk, Global Head of Industries at AlixPartners. “Dan brings significant client-centered abilities to this role and is the natural partner to Andrew as AlixPartners continues to grow and expand this practice.”

For the past two years, Hearsch was Americas Leader of AlixPartners’ Automotive & Industrial Practice. Earlier in his career, his employers included General Motors and tier-one automotive suppliers Visteon Corp. and Brose Group. He holds an MBA in corporate strategy from the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business, and a bachelor's degree from that same university. In his new role, he will help oversee a practice that has grown by leaps and bounds over recent years, including its acquisition last year of the highly-regarded international consulting firm Berylls Strategy Advisors, now rebranded “Berylls by AlixPartners.”

“We really are a different kind of consulting firm—one that is laser-focused on results for our clients, not just reports; one that delivers true industry expertise backed up by decades of experience; and one that prides itself on partnering with, not alienating, our clients’ employees,” said Hearsch. “The entire industrial world today is encountering profound disruptions—technologically, operationally and strategically. Our broad and deep practice at AlixPartners is uniquely positioned to help our clients to come out among the winners.”

Bergbaum, himself a 14-plus-year veteran at AlixPartners and whose past employers included Honda Motor Europe Ltd. and McKinsey & Co., said, “I echo Dan’s and our new video’s observations about the deep, broad and unique capabilities of our practice, and I also welcome Dan to the global leadership of the practice. Our consultants here have more real-world experience, they are focused on delivering true bottom-line results, and again and again clients tell us that working with us was a better experience from working with other consultants. We take great pride in all that, thank our clients for our growth and success thus far, and invite companies that haven’t yet worked with us to give us a call and find out what they’ve been missing.”
