HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has announced the appointment of Jay Johnson as Senior Advisor to its Energy practice. Mr. Johnson’s joining represents the next phase of A&M’s strategic plan to help energy clients maximize value and drive change amidst industry challenges, regulatory changes and economic volatility.
