Alvarez & Marsal hires Otávio Bachir to lead expansion of Valuation services
Alvarez & Marsal has brought Otávio Bachir on board to lead the expansion of its Valuation Services advisory practice in Brazil and other Latin American countries.
An integral part of Alvarez & Marsal’s transaction services offering, the Valuation Services practice provides expertise in determining the economic value of companies, assets, and financial instruments for purposes such as acquisitions, divestments, restructurings, and disputes.
“The expansion of our Valuation Services practice into Brazil and throughout the region enhances our valuation advisory leverage for generating sustainable growth that gives clients a competitive edge,” said Fabio Pires, Managing Director of the Transaction Advisory Group in Latin America.
“Our expansion into Brazil marks the next phase of our strategic investment in capabilities across Latin America,” added Mark McMahon, Managing Director and Global Leader of the Valuation Services practice. “The addition of Otávio strengthens our valuation expertise and underscores Alvarez & Marsal’s commitment and ability to attract top-tier professionals who excel at navigating today’s complex regulatory and reporting landscape.”
Bachir brings over 20 years of experience helping clients address valuation complexities across multiple industries. He advises on intangible assets, value-based management, strategic decision modeling, mergers & acquisitions, and capital attraction projects.
Previously at EY in both its US and Brazil businesses, Bachir is recognized for navigating strategic corporate challenges, including restructurings, as well as issuing project feasibility studies, Public Offerings reports and fairness opinions, under both International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Bachir’s wide-ranging industry experience includes technology, media and telecommunications, education, oil and gas, energy, mining and metals, packaging and aviation.
Commenting on his move, Bachir noted: “As transaction lifecycle complexities increase across the region, clients require trusted advisors with the valuation experience to navigate multiple issues, mitigate risks and ensure successful outcomes. Alvarez & Marsal’s freedom from audit conflicts, integrated platform and heritage of operational excellence provides the ideal foundation for expanding its valuation footprint in Latin America.”
In Latin America, Alvarez & Marsal has offices in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.
