Alvarez & Marsal appoints Lewis Tse as head of US asset-backed finance group

Alvarez & Marsal, a New York-headquartered management consulting firm, has hired Lewis Tse as a managing director and head of the US asset-backed finance (ABF) offering within the global valuation services practice.

Based in New York, Tse will deliver customized solutions that drive value for alternative investment professionals in the United States.

Alvarez & Marsal says that ABF is a major growth area and clients in structured credit and private capital are seeking partners to provide rigorous, data-driven insights.

“This market shift underscores the growing need for innovative technology solutions that enhance transparency, efficiency, and accuracy across the ABF landscape,” said Matthew Goldberg, managing director and leader of the firm’s US alternative investment services (AIS) practice. “Lewis’s deep expertise in asset-backed finance comes at a pivotal time as private credit structures become more creative while strategies expand aggressively.”

Tse has more than 15 years of financial advisory and valuation experience, with deep expertise in structured credit and fund finance products.

He joins from Lincoln International, where he co-led the ABF group. Before that, Tse was a director at Houlihan Lokey.

Tse has a BBA from Baruch College.

“A&M’s global reputation for innovation, entrepreneurship, and its integrated, end-to-end offering made joining the firm a natural fit,” said Tse. “Asset managers today need advisors who can deliver technology-enabled, rigorous valuation and advisory solutions. I’m excited to help clients navigate these complex valuation challenges.”

Alvarez & Marsal recently welcomed Brett Kumm as a managing director in its investigations and compliance practice.

The firm provides advisory, business performance improvement, and turnaround management services to companies, investors, and government entities. The firm has more than 11,500 employees across 90+ offices on six continents.
