The Valtus Alliance Restructuring Network
Global reach. Local execution. When the stakes are highest.
Restructuring is the toughest test in executive interim management. It demands deep technical expertise, strong leadership under pressure, and a relentless focus on results — often against tight deadlines and intense scrutiny. Few disciplines carry this much accountability, complexity, or time pressure.
As a member of the Valtus Alliance, the world's leading executive interim management network, here at xNorth we can give clients direct access to restructuring experts and turnaround managers across 32 countries.
The Alliance is anchored by Valtus, headquartered in Paris, with subsidiaries across the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland, and extended through trusted network partners spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond; including xNorth as the Alliance's partner for Canada.
How we support clients in critical situations
Cross-border leadership on demand
We place a turnaround manager or CRO in another country when head office needs management capacity for a foreign subsidiary; fast. Where needed, our managers can take on formal board roles and directors' duties to officially represent the company.
Full project teams, assembled quickly
Need an international team spanning finance, operations, and HR for a post-merger integration or a complex carve-out? We build it. Private equity firms in particular rely on us for this.
Operational consolidation
We help clients centralize disparate operations and stand up shared service centers, including in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.
Supply chain restructuring
We restructure existing supply chain operations and identify and onboard new partners to replace underperforming ones.
Access to the right advisors
When a situation calls for specialist legal or financial expertise, we connect clients with the best restructuring lawyers and consultants in the relevant jurisdiction.
