Pierce Cohen is a Senior Director with Alvarez & Marsal Private Equity Performance Improvement M&A Services in Houston. He specializes in merger integration and carve-outs for private equity clients. His primary areas of concentration are post-close integration, carve-out management and leadership, and pre-close operational due diligence.

With more than eight years of consulting and operational experience, Mr. Cohen has supported clients and portfolio companies through complex acquisitions.

Mr. Cohen’s notable assignments include advising a client on carve-out support and stand-up for a global mobility services company with 6,000+ employees. He led real estate activities and Project Management Office coordination for the stand-up of 125+ offices across 40+ countries over a 12-month span. He achieved $25+ million in one-time and time savings account (TSA) savings ($67 million baseline) and led post-close support for the Asia-Pacific region to triage day one issues. He also led Integration Management Office (IMO) activities for a staffing company as it completed a series of seven acquisitions over the course of two years (combined circa $725 million revenue). In addition to his IMO responsibilities, Mr. Cohen led the migration of all the acquired companies’ financial data into a consolidated system, managed the conversion of legacy commission plans, and provided key oversight and input into the consolidation of financial, information technology, and operational processes. He also performed synergy and integration assessment for a printing and billing services company (circa $400 million revenue). By evaluating 16 staged acquisitions from the company’s preceding 24 months, his assessment identified nearly 50 distinct integration and synergy initiatives, totaling $26 million in savings.

Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Cohen spent four years with Chevron across multiple business units. His primary responsibilities included R&D program oversight, in-field project management, data analysis, and cost engineering.

Mr. Cohen earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin.
