Thomas J. Lambert

As Managing Director at Lazard since 2017, I contribute to the Sovereign Advisory Group, leveraging over fifteen years of experience in guiding governments and state-owned enterprises across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and managing US$ 300 billion+ debt transactions. My work focuses on sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt restructuring, bond issuance, rating advisory, and macroeconomic policy advisory. I am committed with my team to supporting complex financial strategies for sovereign clients, fostering sustainable economic solutions, and addressing global financial challenges. My expertise stems from a strong foundation in government management, analytical skills and business development which I apply to develop innovative strategies and impactful collaborations worldwide.
