Key Highlights

FTI Consulting (NYSE:FCN) appointed Björn Storim as a Senior Advisor in its Strategic Communications segment, based in Frankfurt.
Storim has 35 years of financial services experience and was CEO of BNY's European Bank from 2021 to 2025.
He will advise colleagues in Germany on banking, capital markets, regulation, reputation and transformation.
His earlier career included 16 years at Credit Suisse and a start in J.P. Morgan's fixed income business.

FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) announced on 26 October 2026 the appointment of Björn Storim as a Senior Advisor in its Strategic Communications segment. Storim is based in Frankfurt and will support the firm's work for banking and capital markets clients in Germany and across the EMEA region. He joins after serving as Chief Executive Officer of BNY's European Bank from 2021 to 2025.

Role and Remit

According to FTI Consulting, Storim will advise colleagues in Germany on complex challenges involving banking and capital markets, regulation, reputation, transformation and strategic positioning. He will also support teams working with financial institutions on situations that require coordination across several stakeholders, including commercial, regulatory and reputational considerations.

The firm said his experience across capital markets, asset management, asset servicing, risk management and regulatory affairs will give clients a broad perspective, particularly in the German market and across EMEA. Victoria Strachwitz, who leads FTI Consulting's Strategic Communications segment in Germany, described him as a resource for teams advising on commercial, regulatory and reputation matters.

Career Background and Firm Context

Storim has 35 years of international financial services experience. Before BNY, he spent 16 years with Credit Suisse in London and Frankfurt, ultimately serving as Co-Speaker of the Management Board of its European bank and Co-Chairman of the Germany & Austria Management Committee. He began his career in J.P. Morgan's fixed income business in London and New York.

He holds a degree in Economics from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and a TRIUM Executive MBA from the London School of Economics, NYU Stern and HEC Paris. He is a certified Financial Risk Manager and a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Storim said he has known FTI Consulting for many years as a client.

Storim said financial services firms operate in an environment where market developments, regulation and public perception are increasingly interconnected, so strategic decisions need to be considered from several perspectives at the same time. FTI Consulting is a global business advisory firm, and the Strategic Communications segment in which he will work advises on reputation and transformation matters.

FTI Consulting framed the appointment around pressures facing financial institutions, which it listed as adapting business models to changing competitive, economic and regulatory conditions, balancing global strategies with European supervisory expectations and local market requirements, deepening European capital markets, geopolitical developments and technological change.

The firm's announcement was issued from Frankfurt through GlobeNewswire. It contains no financial information, and the role is described as advisory support to colleagues rather than a client-facing change in the firm's leadership structure.

Why This Could Matter

The appointment adds a senior figure with prior leadership roles at three international banks to FTI Consulting's German advisory team. It is described as a Senior Advisor role within Strategic Communications rather than a change to the firm's executive leadership, and the announcement contains no financial information or client mandates. The announcement is therefore primarily a statement about the advisory capabilities FTI Consulting is assembling in Frankfurt.

The Bottom Line

FTI Consulting has added Björn Storim to its Frankfurt team as a Senior Advisor, bringing experience from BNY, Credit Suisse and J.P. Morgan to its banking and capital markets work in Germany.
