Alexandria, Va.— ABI announces that Conor McShane of AlixPartners, LLP (New York) has been selected as one of ABI’s “40 Under 40,” ABI’s annual program that recognizes 40 of the top insolvency industry professionals under the age of 40. Honorees will be recognized at a special virtual ceremony on February 18, 2021.

McShane is a director at AlixPartners with significant experience assisting management teams through financial and operational restructurings, complex M&A processes and due diligence efforts across numerous industries, including technology, infrastructure, media, oil and gas, real estate and hospitality. He leads teams across all levels of client organizations while navigating critical areas of the restructuring process, including long-term business plan development, near-term cash-flow modeling and liquidity management, lender negotiations and execution of divestiture strategies. Prior to moving to the U.S., McShane was a workout banker in London, where he managed the bank's distressed exposure to the U.K. hospitality sector. He has a Masters in Strategy & Management from ESSEC in Paris and a B.A. in business from Trinity College Dublin.

“Accomplished in both their careers and communities, the 2020 class of honorees is an inspiration for the future of the insolvency community,” said ABI Executive Director Amy Quackenboss. “We look forward to collaborating with this diverse collection of young leaders in the full range of ABI's activities to advance the profession.”
