Bain & Company hires consumer and retail expert Liz Lippert
Big Three strategy firm Bain & Company has brought in Liz Lippert as a partner in the firm’s global private equity practice. Lippert has more than a decade of experience in the consulting industry. She will be based out of San Francisco.
Lippert has extensive experience advising consumer and retail and private equity clients on due diligence, growth strategy, performance improvement, customer segmentation, and exit planning. In her new role at Bain, Lippert will support PE clients during the due diligence and post-acquisition phases of the M&A process, focusing on consumer products and retail firms.
Lippert previously spent 11 years at strategy consultancy EY-Parthenon, where she was initially a senior principal, then a managing director, in the private equity and consumer strategy practices.
She also previously served as a manager at Walmart and Walmart.com, where she worked in the areas of corporate strategy, and online and in-store services. Lippert was also an investment banking financial analyst at SVB Financial Group and Deutsche Bank.
"We're excited that Liz is bringing her deep industry expertise to the private equity practice at Bain," Rebecca Burack, head of the firm's private equity practice in the Americas, said. "She has an outstanding track record of advising consumer products and retail investors and executives at every point along the investment lifecycle, helping them develop a tailored investment approach, performing integrated diligence, and working with them to drive both significant growth and improved performance."
“Bain & Company is the leading advisory firm to the private equity sector. I look forward to working with a well-regarded team dedicated to helping clients find success across an ever expanding range of transaction and strategic themes," Lippert added.
Aside from being one of the more prestigious consulting firms, Bain is also regarded as one of the best workplaces in the US. Bain recently grabbed the top spot on the 2019 Glassdoor Best Places to Work list.
