FTI Consulting appointed Ben Shrimpton and Mark Pulvirenti senior managing directors in Sydney, Australia.
Shrimpton joined the corporate finance and restructuring segment. He has been involved in financial and operational turnarounds and restructurings across Asia Pacific and Europe, negotiating and implementing capital solutions that included refinancing senior and other debt facilities, as well as equity raises.
Shrimpton works with executive teams to prepare turnaround plans. He has undertaken interim CFO and other executive management roles with clients involved in a refinancing transaction or in a period of rapid change. Most recently, he was appointed CFO for an Australian retailer as part of a refreshed executive management team with a turnaround agenda.
Pulvirenti joined the forensic and litigation consulting segment. He specializes in financial crime advisory and investigation matters, often involving bribery and corruption, money laundering, fraud, asset misappropriation, financial statement reconstruction and asset tracing.
With more than 26 years of experience, Pulvirenti helps clients assess fraud and corruption risks, focusing particularly on anti-bribery and corruption regulatory compliance matters. He works with law firms, in-house legal counsel, chief risk and compliance officers and boards of directors on various business integrity issues and events.
“I am delighted to welcome Mark and Ben to the firm, as they further strengthen our capabilities in Australia,” Mark Dewar, Australian practice leader at FTI Consulting, said. “Mark further builds out our risk and investigations offering in the region, and Ben’s expertise working with executives to prepare turnaround plans helps companies navigate market challenges in an increasingly turbulent global economic situation.”
