FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN), the global business advisory firm
dedicated to helping organisations protect and enhance their
enterprise value, today announced the expansion of the firm’s
Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment in Australia with the
addition of two Senior Managing Directors, Marcus Derwin and
Michael McCreadie. These two senior appointments strengthen the
firm’s Australian leadership team bringing both global and industry
expertise to the region.
“We are focused on building from our strong North American
practice to achieve critical mass in global markets such as
Australia, as our brand and prominent client engagements allow us
to attract top-tier talent,” said Michael Eisenband, Global
Co-Leader of the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment at
FTI Consulting. “These two appointments, combined with our recent
marquee restructuring wins in Australia, further enhance our
capabilities in this market.”
Mr. Derwin joins the firm’s Sydney office from RCubed Group, a
corporate advisory practice focused on interim executive
restructuring roles, which he founded in 2011. With more than 20
years of corporate restructuring and crisis management experience,
Mr. Derwin is a highly regarded restructuring practitioner and
chief restructuring officer who provides strategic advice and
interim executive capabilities to clients in complex restructuring
and recapitalisation situations. Additionally, he has advised
boards of directors, both public and private, and has worked within
and alongside executive teams on implementation, stakeholder
management and recapitalisation strategies. His prior experiences
have incorporated a range of portfolio management, debt
refinancing, M&A, IPOs, public to private transactions and
post-deal integration capabilities. Mr. Derwin has broad industry
experience, including financial services, telecommunications,
resources, agriculture and manufacturing. Prior to founding RCubed
Group, Mr. Derwin served as a Senior Executive in the Funds
Management sector with AMP, where he managed a global AU$2 billion
Alternative Assets portfolio. He has also served as a Principal
Advisor at National Australia Bank in both Australia and the United
States.
Mr. McCreadie joins the firm’s Melbourne office from Platypus
Advisors, an advisory business in Singapore centered around
advising businesses on establishing and managing operations in
Asia, which he founded in 2013. Mr. McCreadie is a senior financial
professional, with more than 20 years of experience working across
Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States. He has held senior
interim financial and operational roles in addition to acting as an
advisor to senior management and boards of directors in relation to
both restructuring and M&A activities. Mr. McCreadie brings a
wide range of industry expertise to the firm, including
manufacturing, automotive, airlines, healthcare, financial
services, retail, real estate and construction. Prior to founding
Platypus Advisors, Mr. McCreadie was a Partner at
PricewaterhouseCoopers in Singapore and Melbourne.
“As Australian corporates, lenders and investors embrace the
need for earlier identification of market-related issues, which in
turn provides increased optionality, FTI Consulting has a unique
ability to respond as either an advisor or as an interim executive
working alongside leadership,” said John Park, Leader of the
Australian Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment at FTI
Consulting. “We are increasingly being recognised for our ability
to deliver innovative and timely restructuring solutions that
encompass all aspects of stakeholder management.”
