| | FTI Palladium Partners, FTI Consulting’s interim leadership arm, is to build on the growth in demand in Europe for its services by expanding its network to London. The UK practice is to be headed by Mark Palios, former chief executive of The Football Association in the UK, who has over 20 years’ experience in the turnaround industry.

FTI PP was established two years ago to provide a sole focus on interim leadership. This was largely in response to a shift in the growing international marketplace for turnaround skills. This is a market which was once driven solely by demand from the large banks in their traditional position as lenders. Now, | |
|
| | increasingly in the US and Europe, demand is being driven by international players in private equity and distressed fund groups requiring assistance with various investments in portfolios.
Palios has a mandate to build the practice in the UK by developing a cadre of top professionals to provide | |
|
| | leadership for companies. This team will be responsible for analysing, devising and, most importantly, implementing credible restructuring plans to deliver long-term viability.
Prior to his position as chief executive at the FA, Palios was UK leader for Business Regeneration at PricewaterhouseCoopers | |
|
| | (PwC) where he developed that firm’s approach to corporate turnaround and pioneered the development of executive leadership. While at PwC, he worked with several other PwC Business Restructuring Services partners who joined FTI in the US in August 2002.
