Maxim Vanhencxthoven

Max applies more than 15 years of industry and advisory experience to help large organisations realise sustainable operational improvements. He specialises in M&A and transactions advisory across all elements of the deal life cycle, focusing on operations, strategy, and organisational transformation in the industrial products, business services and transportation industries.

He has led multiple engagements supporting corporations with the diligence, synergy assessment, integration planning and implementation of complex, multi-billion transactions. He has particular expertise in navigating the challenges of extended sign-to-close periods and regulatory merger control processes.

He is a results oriented critical thinker and as a loyal team player with exceptional communication skills he is able to build and maintain a collaborative rapport with all levels of an organisation.

Max has delivered a comprehensive programme for two merging global industrial products and services companies forming a $2.5 billion revenue group with 12,000 employees. The programme helped to accelerate the delivery of the deal thesis as from day one and ultimately allowed the realisation of nearly $100 million in cost synergies.

Prior to joining AlixPartners, he was a management consultant in Chicago and a general manager at global third-party logistics provider Katoen Natie in Belgium, Mexico, and the United States. Maxim has an MBA in business administration, management, and operations from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. He is fluent in Dutch, English, Spanish and French.
