The AEG Partners Team
Welcome to Shiwali Varshney
In July, AEG Partners appointed Shiwali Varshney to the position of Associate. With more than seven years of financial and operational experience, her responsibilities will include detailed business analysis, and operational and management support during financial restructuring and crisis situations.
Prior to joining AEG Partners, Ms. Varshney was an Associate Finance Manager at Unilever, a Fortune 500 company. Her responsibilities included project and strategic analysis, business planning, management reporting, and leading Unilever’s divisional cost savings efforts. Shiwali earned her MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business and has an engineering degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, a premier engineering school in India. She has successfully held various managerial and operational roles in industries as diverse as consumer goods, software design and development, and engineering consulting.
Shiwali Varshney speaks about joining AEG
Why did you leave the corporate world and join AEG Partners?
I wanted to join the turnaround consulting world for the challenges and progressive thinking it provides, and I wanted to be with a firm that not only had the intelligence and expertise for finding creative and ingenious solutions to distressed situations but also appreciated the challenge of implementing those solutions through an entire organization and for the benefit of all stakeholders.AEG represents for me that perfect mix – financial, process, and operational excellence in the distressed environment.
What would you like people to know about your experience and capabilities?
I have worked in a variety of positions, industries, and companies – from engineering to finance, from IT startups to a 100,000 person strong consumer goods giant. These experiences have given me valuable insights into and an understanding of the subtle differences in the value chains and cultures of these very different organizations. I think these experiences have really strengthened my business analysis and leadership skills.
What do you see in the market and how do you see it impacting the restructuring environment?
Credit markets are clearly beginning to tighten after a long run of very inexpensive financing. As investors begin re-pricing risk, companies will look to improve efficiencies within their operations and attempt to find financing that best appreciates these efforts. The demand for expertise that encompasses both operational change and financial prowess in a restructuring environment will undoubtedly increase. This is when the demand for the expertise AEG has to offer really will be seen. I am looking forward to the challenges.
