Fredrik de Maré joins FTI Consulting as a Senior Managing Director, and Nathaniel Hein and Juliana Palma join as Managing Directors.

“FTI Consulting is a trusted, independent partner to help clients manage investigations and institute compliance and governance programs that proactively prevent them,” said Andrew Rosini, Co-Leader of the Risk & Investigations practice at FTI Consulting. “Our clients depend upon the expertise our teams bring to help them protect value and their freedom to operate. The addition of Fredrik, Nathaniel and Juliana will enhance our ability to provide those services wherever they may do business.”

His sector expertise spans the healthcare, life sciences and technology industries. Prior to joining FTI Consulting, Mr. de Maré was the West Coast lead for the Operations & Supply Chain practice at Russell Reynolds Associates.

Mr. Hein, who is based in Chicago, has more than a decade of forensic audit and accounting experience at Big Four firms. He has conducted internal investigations, monitorships, financial restatements, M&A due diligence, anti-fraud risk assessments, complex litigation support, and post-acquisition integration and disputes.
