Victoria Strachwitz, who heads FTI Consulting's Strategic Communications practice in Germany, said in essence that the firm is very pleased to have won Björn Storim as Senior Advisor. He combines a deep understanding of international financial markets with many years of leadership experience and a strong knowledge of regulatory and strategic challenges. At a time when financial institutions increasingly face high regulatory requirements, geopolitical uncertainty, technological change and rising stakeholder expectations at the same time, this experience is particularly valuable. He will help clients assess complex situations early, bring together different economic and regulatory perspectives and develop robust strategic options. (Quote rendered in substance.)

For FTI Consulting's clients, Björn Storim expands advisory capabilities in particular on issues where financial decisions are closely linked to regulation, reputation and transformation. Thanks to his experience on both the corporate and the client side, he has a precise view of the priorities and decision-making processes of different stakeholders, enabling him to derive sound strategic options that take equal account of regulatory and reputational aspects.

This allows him to support companies both on long-term transformation and positioning issues and in particularly demanding or business-critical situations.

Björn Storim said in essence that financial service providers today operate in an environment in which market changes, regulation and public perception are increasingly intertwined, so strategic decisions must be considered from several perspectives at once. He has known FTI Consulting for many years from the client perspective and has come to value its combination of expertise, pragmatic advice and a very broad range of services, from strategic communications and positioning to compliance, forensic investigations, litigation and business transformation. He looks forward to contributing his experience and developing sound solutions for clients together with his colleagues. (Quote rendered in substance.)
