For decades, Tom Stewart has been studying disruption: the proverbial train about to come through the building. “It’s the new business driver,” says the former editor-in-chief of Harvard Business Review, “these things that come out of left field.” His work as co-author of the AlixPartners Disruption Index has allowed him to track the heroes of the disruptive age—the executives who have gotten comfortable with uncertainty. That strain of agility has served Tom himself through three careers: magazine editor (and Fortune columnist), book publisher, and thought leader. His first official day as a full-time Director within Marketing at AlixPartners was two days after his 76th birthday. Want to think like Tom? His book recs for executives are Shakespeare's history plays (for leadership), Machiavelli’s The Prince (for strategy), and the epistles of St. Paul (for mission, vision, values, and how an entrepreneur can scale a multinational organization)....Show more

“I believe that whatever comes your way, just say yes and then figure out how to do it.” Hima Juttu, a VP in AlixPartners' Automotive & Industrial group, was always curious about how things worked. As a teenager, she invented things made of mechanical parts, experimented with a “water car” that used Brown’s gas as a potential fuel source, and built a buggy for a baja race. After graduating from university, she became a mechanical engineer, first at Mahindra and Mahindra and then at GM. She wanted to learn more about the business decisions that drove the strategy of her engineering team and decided to go to business school. She met AlixPartners at the Forté Foundation's MBA Leadership Conference the summer before starting her MBA at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. “That initial conversation stood out to me—if felt authentic,” she said. “I could immediately see how my engineering and problem-solving background could translate here.” She joined AlixPartners as a summer intern in 2022 and then full-time in 2023, where she gets to use the entirety of her engineering skill set. But it’s her daily interactions with her clients and colleagues that is driving her growth. “I’m constantly surrounded by talented, smart people that challenge me. Every day I learn something new just by being in the same room and working through problems with my teammates. That’s the level I want to be at with my career, the speed I want to grow at, and I am getting that here.”...Show more

Filip Nemeth’s consulting career journey really began as a 17-year-old exchange student studying in Lubbock, Texas. It was the first time he spent significant time outside of his native Slovakia, and he was energized engaging with different kinds of people and cultures. And he wanted more experiences like it. He next moved to London for university and business school and sought out a consulting career specifically for the travel opportunities. Now a Partner on AlixPartners’ Retail team, Filip has built a global practice (he has worked on projects or pitches in the Netherlands, the UK, Taiwan, Korea, China, and Japan in the last 12 months alone), which he credits to the openness of our culture and our people. “It’s driven by how we are set up and how we talk about ourselves, but it’s also about the people,” Filip explained. “Everybody is willing to help. I can’t think of a time when I reached out to someone in a different region or practice and they were too busy to meet with me.”...Show more
