FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) has appointed Dr. Riccardo Siliprandi as a Senior Managing Director to spearhead the launch of its energy advisory practice in Italy. Operating from the Milan office, Dr. Siliprandi will lead the firm's Energy practice in the region, providing both contentious and non-contentious support across the entire infrastructure lifecycle, encompassing transaction due diligence, portfolio assessments, and damage valuations.

Dr. Siliprandi brings over 15 years of experience across consulting, industry, and academia, having previously served as a Senior Principal at AFRY Management Consulting. His expertise covers critical areas such as energy transition, market entry, and regulatory design, and he has served as an expert witness in numerous international and Italian arbitration cases. According to Jason Mann, Leader of the Regulated Industries and Energy Markets group at FTI Consulting, the appointment is a response to global shifts in decarbonization, modernization, and energy security that are expected to reshape the sector over the next decade. Siliprandi's track record includes advising leading energy companies, international investment funds, and public institutions on high-impact market design and transformation projects.

The launch of the energy practice allows FTI Consulting to offer integrated, cross-border expertise to energy companies, investors, and public institutions navigating a fast-evolving market. Emanuele Grasso, FTI’s Italy Leader and Head of Italy Corporate Finance, noted that the move enables the firm to provide even broader support to clients as their strategic requirements change.
