Franklin Grosvenor joins AlixPartners as partner in M&A practice

AlixPartners, a management consulting firm based in New York, has welcomed Franklin Grosvenor as a partner and managing director within its M&A practice in Seattle. Boasting over 20 years of experience in leadership within the technology sector, Grosvenor holds a wealth of knowledge in operations, corporate development, M&A, and sales.

Grosvenor has a vast background in operations, transactions, and integration projects covering networking, application software, tech services, data center infrastructure, and cloud computing. Before joining AlixPartners, he served as a senior advisor for eight months and spent five years at Amazon Web Services where he was in charge of worldwide sales productivity initiatives. Additionally, Grosvenor was responsible for leading the strategy and operations segment within the enterprise and industry verticals business development unit. During his tenure at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which spanned six years, Grosvenor, as the VP of M&A, played a critical role in successfully orchestrating the separation of HP Inc. from Hewlett Packard Enterprise and spearheading subsequent spin-merge transactions.

Having held distinguished positions such as VP of sales at SAP, senior director of manufacturing at Cisco Systems, and senior manager in the strategic services division at Accenture earlier in his career, Grosvenor brings a unique blend of operational expertise, industry experience, and M&A proficiency. Andy He, Americas lead of M&A and transaction advisory at AlixPartners, lauded Grosvenor’s blend of technology sector knowledge, operational proficiency, and M&A expertise, underscoring the significant contribution he brings to the firm’s leadership team.

Grosvenor expressed enthusiasm over his new role, noting that he sees remarkable potential to leverage the foundation laid by the firm to facilitate innovation, growth, and value creation for clients. AlixPartners recently appointed Dan Hearsch as the global co-leader of its automotive and industrial practice, solidifying its commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and delivering value across industries. As AlixPartners continues to deepen its leadership bench, it reinforces its dedication to providing comprehensive consulting services tailored to meet the evolving needs of its diverse clientele.
