Insights
This strategic senior hire signals FTI Consulting's aggressive expansion in the high-margin restructuring advisory space, particularly targeting complex cross-border transactions. The timing is especially noteworthy as global economic pressures and rising interest rates are creating increased demand for restructuring services. Hewitt's expertise in UK restructuring plans and European operations positions FTI to capitalize on the growing complexity of international insolvency cases.
The appointment demonstrates FTI's commitment to strengthening its market position in several key areas:
- Cross-border restructuring capabilities, which command premium fees due to their complexity
- UK and European market presence, where regulatory changes and economic challenges are driving increased restructuring activity
- Industry-specific expertise in critical sectors like real estate, financial services, and healthcare
From a competitive standpoint, poaching a senior leader from Alvarez & Marsal - a major competitor - not only brings valuable client relationships but also demonstrates FTI's ability to attract top talent in a highly specialized field. This move could accelerate the firm's market share growth in the restructuring advisory segment, which typically generates higher margins compared to other consulting services.
The hire's focus on complex administrations and voluntary arrangements across Europe is particularly strategic given the increasing interconnectedness of global businesses and the rising complexity of cross-border insolvency cases. This expertise becomes especially valuable as companies navigate post-Brexit regulatory frameworks and varying insolvency regimes across jurisdictions.
