Takuro Ueji re-joins AlixPartners as co-leader of Japan office

After five years at Boston Consulting Group, Takuro Ueji is back at AlixPartners, now as Co-Leader of the firm’s Japan office.

Appointed a Partner and Managing Director in its Tokyo office, Takuro Ueji has re-joined AlixPartners, having previously served the global management consulting firm for a decade between 2009 and 2019.

“I am very excited to come back to AlixPartners and take the helm of our Japan business along with Tsutomu Noda,” said Ueji. “AlixPartners has built capabilities and a world-class team. I look forward to work together with managements and financial sponsors on their value maximization journey,” he said.

Ueji has over 25 years of experience in achieving step-change improvements in cash flow, profitability and enterprise value for clients. He works shoulder-to-shoulder with senior executives, operational leaders and financial sponsors to help driving their transformation and turnaround journeys.

During his five-year tenure at Boston Consulting Group, he was a Managing Director and Partner and leader of the BCG Transform practice, the firm’s unit for transformation, turnaround and restructuring work. Earlier, he spent another four years at Boston Consulting Group during his first spell as the firm, and worked in private equity.

“Takuro’s broad experience helping Japanese companies with their most complex transformations and his deep C-suite and functional knowledge will be of great value to our clients who are facing unprecedented and continuous disruption,” said Andy Eversbusch, Partner & Managing Director and Co-Head of United States and Asia at AlixPartners.

Tsutomu Noda, who leads the Asia Pacific division together with Shiv Shivaraman, added: “The business environment surrounding Japanese companies is becoming tougher than ever because of multiple disruptions such as cost increases due to inflation and supply chain issues. Having Takuro on our leadership team will upscale our team’s capability to support Japanese companies at ‘when it really matters’ situations.”

AlixPartners serves the Asian market through four offices, in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. The US-headquartered firm also has offices in the Americas, Europe, Middle East.
