AlixPartners acquires AI consultancy Artium. Posted on August 21, 2026 NEW YORK, UNITED STATES - AlixPartners acquired Artium, a Los Angeles-based agentic artificial intelligence (AI) software firm, to expand its enterprise consulting capabilities with AI-powered process automation and customer experience development. Artium will continue operating as "Artium by AlixPartners," maintaining its founding team, staff, and model lab partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic. Artium brings agentic AI to AlixPartners' client work. AlixPartners is a New York-headquartered management consulting firm that advises corporations and governments on restructuring, performance improvement, and strategic transformation across sectors including financial services, healthcare, and technology. According to a report from Consulting.us, Artium's agentic AI software builds on partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic to automate internal business processes and develop customer-facing AI agents for enterprise clients, capabilities AlixPartners can now deploy across its global practice areas. "By combining Artium's deep AI capabilities with AlixPartners' industry and functional expertise, we are well-positioned to create even greater value for our clients and define the future of consulting," said Rob Hornby, co-chief executive officer at AlixPartners. Artium operates as distinct unit within AlixPartners. Artium will operate as a distinct business unit within AlixPartners, preserving its founding team, core methodology, and relationships with AI model providers, while gaining access to AlixPartners' global client base and industry networks. The rebrand to "Artium by AlixPartners" positions the combined entity to compete for large-scale enterprise AI transformation mandates that require both deep technical capability and credentialed consulting experience. "As we looked to our next phase of growth, AlixPartners stood out as the clear choice. The firm's leadership has a deep understanding of our business, our technology, and the opportunities ahead. We believe that our combined strengths and commitment to results will create even greater impact for existing and future clients," said Ross Hale, chief executive officer and co-founder at Artium. The acquisition accelerates a trend in management consulting where established advisory firms are acquiring agentic AI specialists to bridge the gap between AI strategy and enterprise execution in business process outsourcing (BPO) and transformation engagements. AlixPartners competes with firms including McKinsey, Bain, and Accenture for high-value AI implementation mandates, and the Artium acquisition gives it a proprietary agentic layer to deploy alongside its restructuring and performance practices. Artium's model lab relationships with OpenAI and Anthropic also give AlixPartners direct access to frontier AI development roadmaps, a competitive advantage as consulting firms race to embed AI tooling into their service delivery.

Market Financial Solutions' administrators sue Barclays over held funds. August 5, 2026 AlixPartners, the administrator of collapsed bridging lender Market Financial Solutions, has filed a legal claim against Barclays over £160m worth of accounts. AlixPartners filed a claim to the High Court against Barclays on Friday, stating the bank was holding cash it believed was owed to the bridging lender. Barclays is understood to be defending the claim. In its Q1 results, Barclays reported an impairment charge of £823m, primarily due to a £228m charge in the investment bank linked to Market Financial Solutions' failure. AlixPartners was appointed to manage Market Financial Solutions' accounts earlier this year, when the lender's administration was announced surrounded by allegations of financial irregularities. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) subsequently announced it had opened an investigation into the bridging lender to determine whether there was any serious misconduct. The lender's founder, Paresh Raja, has denied the allegations.
Lucid unveils turnaround plan built on $1.4 billion savings and robotaxis. Lucid Motors has outlined a turnaround strategy centred on $1.4 billion in cash savings, robotaxis, its Saudi factory and a delayed mid-size EV. Aug 5, 2026 - 11:44 Lucid Motors has unveiled an "operational reset" designed to reduce cash outflows by $1.4 billion while focusing on three key growth priorities: launching its long-awaited mid-size electric vehicle, expanding its factory in Saudi Arabia and developing a robotaxi business with Uber and Nuro. The strategy was outlined by newly appointed Chief Executive Officer Silvio Napoli during the company's second-quarter earnings call, where he stressed that Lucid would no longer rush products to market. As part of that shift, the company's mid-size electric vehicle, expected to start below $50,000, has been delayed until 2027 after previously being scheduled to begin deliveries by the end of 2026. "Our objective is clear: Mid-size will launch only when every process and quality requirement has been met," Napoli said. "We will not repeat the mistakes of the past by bringing a product to market before it is ready." Cost reductions at the centre of the turnaround. Lucid plans to achieve $1.4 billion in cash savings through a combination of lower capital spending, inventory reductions and operating expense cuts. The company expects to reduce capital expenditures by $500 million, generate between $600 million and $800 million in inventory-related savings and cut operating expenses by another $200 million. Napoli said the programme is intended to provide the company with sufficient liquidity through well into 2027. He acknowledged that Lucid had failed to execute consistently in recent years, citing missed commitments, products launched before they were fully ready, underinvestment in customer service, slow responses to quality issues and organisational complexity that delayed decision-making. As part of the restructuring, Lucid has reshaped its executive team by appointing new leaders across finance, technology, customer operations, digital strategy and transformation. The company has also reduced the number of executives reporting directly to the CEO, laid off around 1,500 employees in June after an earlier 12% workforce reduction and eliminated the second production shift at its Casa Grande, Arizona factory. Napoli said those measures are expected to generate approximately $158 million in annualised savings. Financial losses continue despite higher revenue. Lucid's second-quarter revenue increased to $405 million from $259.4 million a year earlier. However, the electric vehicle manufacturer reported a net loss of $1.26 billion, compared with an $855.3 million loss during the same quarter last year. The company ended the quarter with total liquidity of approximately $3 billion, giving management confidence that the restructuring can be completed while continuing to invest in future products. Robotaxis become a major growth strategy. Beyond cost reductions, Napoli identified the company's robotaxi partnership with Uber and autonomous driving technology developer Nuro as a major long-term revenue opportunity. Lucid has established a new business unit called Lucid Technologies, led by Chief Digital Officer Kai Stepper, to oversee artificial intelligence, advanced driver assistance systems and digital technologies supporting the programme. The robotaxi service will combine Lucid's Gravity SUVs with Nuro's autonomous driving platform, while Uber will operate the premium ride-hailing service through its app. Napoli said the business is expected to deliver margins significantly higher than the traditional retail vehicle business. Nuro and Uber are currently testing around 100 autonomous vehicles in Houston and the San Francisco Bay Area. Lucid said it began delivering production validation vehicles from its Coolidge, Arizona facility last month, with regular production expected to begin during the fourth quarter ahead of a planned commercial launch in late 2026. CEO rejects bankruptcy speculation. Napoli also addressed reports that Lucid had hired consulting firm AlixPartners to explore bankruptcy options. He rejected those claims, saying the firm's engagement was limited to supporting the company's cost-saving programme and streamlining operations. According to Napoli, AlixPartners' assignment is expected to conclude by the end of the month as Lucid continues implementing its turnaround strategy while preparing its next generation of electric vehicles and autonomous mobility services.
