Andy Winthrop is a Senior Director with Alvarez & Marsal Tax in Hong Kong SAR. He is the Indirect Tax Lead in Asia assisting multinationals on VAT, customs and global trade compliance issues in international restructuring projects across the Asia Pacific region.

Mr. Winthrop brings more than 16 years of experience working across Australia and Hong Kong SAR. He has advised on the establishment of regional and global supply chain management structures, around different headquarters and procurement locations and in a variety of industries, such as consumer products, life sciences and mining and metals.

Experienced in using indirect tax data analytics, Mr. Winthrop has led projects providing a pathway to trade effectiveness — from macro-strategic to micro-operational — adding new value to their supply chain with direct P&L impact.​ Additionally, he has identified the indirect tax implications of implementing omnichannel distribution channels in the Asia Pacific region, specifically in markets where new trading entities can generate significant indirect tax cash flow generation, such as in Japan, the Chinese mainland and Australia, generating millions of dollars of free cash flow.​

With experience covering the end-to-end of a project life cycle, Mr. Winthrop leads projects from feasibility study to design and implementation, with a particular focus on VAT, customs and global trade cash flow initiatives.

Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Winthrop was a Partner in EY’s Operating Model Effectiveness team based in Hong Kong SAR, focusing on the indirect tax and customs implications of supply chains in the Asia Pacific region.
