The local team of the US-based firm includes experienced professionals in restructuring, transactions and corporate transformation.
The Bucharest office serves corporates, entrepreneurs and private equity investors across restructuring and turnaround, corporate transformation and performance improvement, as well as M&A and private equity services. These local capabilities are backed by the firm’s global platform spanning tax, disputes and investigations, valuation, regulatory and risk advisory, and digital.
The launch comes at a time when many Romanian companies are entering a new stage of development, marked by leadership transitions, business transformation and regional expansion, the company said. The decision to establish A&M’s Romanian office reflects both the growing relevance of the local market and the firm’s ability to support clients through senior, integrated expertise.
“Romania has become an increasingly important market for entrepreneurs, corporates and investors across Central Europe. Our decision to launch locally is driven by the opportunity we see in the market and by the strength of the senior team we are bringing together,” said Dawid Rychlik, Managing Director, A&M Central Europe.
The Romanian team is co-led by Mihai Bîrsescu, Managing Director, who brings more than 15 years of experience in management consulting and corporate transformation, including regional leadership roles at McKinsey and BCG and by Ioana Filipescu, Managing Director, one of the most experienced M&A advisors in the Romanian market, with more than 30 years of experience in financial advisory and investment banking, including prior roles with the EBRD, KPMG and Deloitte CEE.
The leadership team also includes George Mucibabici, Senior Advisor, former Chairman of Deloitte Romania & Moldova and former Chairman and CEO of Tiriac Bank, alongside Serban Stoica, Senior Director, specializing in private equity performance improvement.
“As industries and business models evolve, the gap between companies that adapt successfully and those at risk of falling behind is becoming increasingly visible. We work with owners and management teams to help deliver tangible results, combining local market understanding with the capabilities, experience and resources of A&M’s global network,” said Mihai Bîrsescu, Managing Director of the local office.
“Transactions are an important part of this agenda. Their success depends also on the preparation that precedes it and the value creation that follows. A&M brings to the market the ability to combine transaction expertise with operational capabilities, supporting clients before, during and after a transaction,” stated Managing Director Ioana Filipescu.
A&M’s Romanian office is operational and taking on mandates across restructuring, transactions and corporate transformation, with the team expected to grow as demand in these areas continues to build.
Founded in 1983, A&M combines operational, financial and transaction expertise to help organizations navigate complex business challenges. It has more than 12,000 professionals across over 90 offices worldwide.
