Stephen Wallace shared thisToday, in the U.S., we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose leadership was grounded in integrity and an unwavering belief in the strength of our differences. His vision reminds us that meaningful progress is achieved when we lead with honesty, embrace inclusive diversity, and turn our values into action. May we continue building environments where respect, opportunity, and belonging are lived every day. #MLKDay

Stephen Wallace liked thisStephen Wallace liked thisEnduring drive. Could not be happier to have Senior Advisor, Harry Ruffalo, former Worldwide Managing Partner of Tax and Legal (Arthur Andersen & Co. 1989-1997) as part of the team. His accomplishments are countless. Twenty-six years post-retirement, and advising A&M Tax since our inception in 2004, he remains curious, committed, and engaged. #Legend #Momentum #Tax

Stephen Wallace liked thisStephen Wallace liked thisI spent this week at the A&M Global Tax MD offsite, and I left genuinely energized. The room was full of professionals who aren't waiting to see what AI-powered disruption of tax looks like — they're asking what they need to do to lead in that new world. That kind of proactive, forward-leaning mindset is exactly the right response to the moment we're in. No doomsday talk, no hand-wringing — just a group of smart people rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. It was a great reminder that the firms who will thrive aren't the ones who react to change, but the ones who run toward it. Thank you Ernesto Perez for the Q&A session that kept me on my toes!

Stephen Wallace liked thisStephen Wallace liked thisHunger, hustle & heart. 💙 Proud to share that our teA&M from Alvarez & Marsal Global Transaction Advisory Group & Valuations Group spent time at Our Big Kitchen last Friday, coming together to prepare 300 meals for people experiencing homelessness. It was a powerful reminder that impact doesn’t always come from big gestures—sometimes it’s about rolling up your sleeves, working side by side as a teA&M, and contributing in a meaningful way to the community around us. Grateful for the opportunity to give back, connect as a teA&M, and support such an incredible organisation doing vital work every day. Big thank you to Celine O'Brien & David Jansz for organising the event! #GivingBack #Community #HungerHustleHeart #OurBigKitchen #likewhatyoudo #likewhoyoudoitwith Paul Aversano Steven Shirtliff Brett Duell Doug Houston David Savage Roshan Emmanuel Tim Denning Mark Schiavello James Spencer Jenny Arrand Sam Roberts Alexandra Williams Jamie Stewart

Stephen Wallace liked thisStephen Wallace liked thisWant to make Partner at a consulting firm one day? It was great to be back at the Q Center in St. Charles (near Chicago) to observe Alvarez & Marsal’s Senior Director Foundations course this week. I also joined a panel moderated by Matthew Merhan on what it takes to succeed at this career milestone, the final step before Managing Director (Partner). Early in your consulting career, it’s easy to focus on doing great work - and that absolutely matters. But those who eventually make Partner start building different habits early: ✅ Be a leader: Emulate the behaviours of the most successful leaders around you, many of whom will practice servant leadership (listening, integrity, accountability, humility, etc.) ✅ Build your personal brand: Over time, be known for something distinctive, both internally and in the market ✅ Don’t just impress managers - build client trust: Stay in touch with people at all levels; today’s junior contact could be tomorrow’s decision-maker ✅ Don’t just solve problems - ask better questions: Some of the best learning comes from discomfort and mistakes, and from observing risk management in action ✅ Communicate with impact: Build confidence and constantly look to improve your communication skills ✅ Don’t wait for opportunities but create them: Seek out diverse experiences and leaders; the best consultants become “go-to” people ✅ Start building commercial instinct early: Get exposure to business development and think long-term in every interaction ✅ Find mentors and a support system: More people are willing to help than you might think You don’t need the title to start thinking like a Partner. And the above tips are not only for Senior Directors - they are applicable to all levels or grades in consulting.
