Malcolm McKenzie
Chair of the Advisory Board
KC 1977
Malcolm read Engineering at King’s and subsequently practiced as an engineer applying early computational modelling techniques to internal combustion engines (Ricardo) and telecoms networks (STC). Subsequently he took an MBA at London Business School and switched to management consulting, joining EY where he subsequently became a partner, then setting up a joint venture consulting business and subsequently moving with a part of this team to Alvarez & Marsal. At A&M, Malcolm founded and built up first the Private Equity and then the Corporate business to become major advisory practices, based on providing tough turnaround and transformation support to major and mid-sized businesses across Europe. Malcolm has helped lead a small group from his matriculation year to set up the 1977 King’s Access Support Scheme. This helps promising A-Level students from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their required grades for entry. A keen motorcyclist, Malcolm is also a director of a business making parts to maintain the Vincent ‘Black Shadow’, the iconic motorcycle designed by King’s engineer Phil Vincent (KC 1926).
