Senior Management
FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the global business advisory firm
dedicated to helping organisations protect and enhance their enterprise
value, has appointed Lord Mark Malloch-Brown as Chairman of its operations in
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Lord Malloch-Brown joined the London office of FTI Consulting in
September 2010 as Chairman of Global Affairs. His appointment to Chairman of
the EMEA region is the final step in implementing the Company's previously
announced organisational structure which emphasizes practice, global
geography and industry business drivers. Lord Malloch-Brown joins David
Bannister, Chairman of the North American region; Frank Holder, Chairman of
the Latin American region; and Rod Sutton, Chairman of the Asia Pacific
region, on the Executive Committee of FTI Consulting.
Lord Malloch-Brown is a former Minister of State in the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office of the British government with responsibility for Africa,
Asia and the United Nations. He also has served as United Nations Deputy
Secretary-General, administrator of the United Nations Development Programme,
was Vice President of External Affairs at the World Bank and was the founder
of the Economist Development Report.
In recognition of his long service in public life and on the
international stage, Lord Malloch-Brown was knighted at the end of his UN
service and, when he joined the U.K. Cabinet, was offered a life peerage in
July 2007. He remains in the House of Lords.
Jack Dunn, President and Chief Executive officer of FTI Consulting, said,
"Since joining us last year as Chairman of Global Affairs — a role that Mark
will continue to fulfill — he has contributed enormously to the work we
undertake for our clients worldwide. As Chairman of a region with which he
has a particular affinity, Mark will lead, support and advise our talented
EMEA team. Colleagues and clients alike will continue to benefit from his
remarkable energy, enthusiasm and experience, extensive international
relationships and unique perspectives on a wide array of economic, political
and social issues. I am delighted that Mark has agreed to take on this new
responsibility."
Lord Malloch-Brown said, "This is an exciting new role at a company that
now is at a critical stage in its international development. We already are
immersed in Europe and are helping our clients meet their challenges. Now
that countries in Africa and the Middle East are going through fundamental
change, company executives are finding our expertise and guidance of critical
importance in protecting their interests in the region. Our EMEA team members
all are extremely talented and experienced individuals, and I look forward to
working with them in taking FTI Consulting's offering to the next level."
