Brogan brings over 30 years of experience, most recently serving as Managing Director at Global Counsel. He previously spent a decade as Group Public Affairs Director at Lloyds Banking Group and held senior editorial roles including Deputy Editor of The Daily Telegraph.

FTI Consulting has appointed James Chapman, Steve Dyson and Franz Wentzel as Senior Managing Directors in its Australian Transformation practice. The three executives are former global heads of Big Four accounting firm mining practices. Chapman, based in Perth, has over 30 years of operations experience and previously served as Global Mining and Metals Operations Leader at EY. Dyson, based in Brisbane, brings 28 years of experience in mining transformation and was formerly Global Mining Transformation Lead at Deloitte. Wentzel's background was not detailed in the announcement. The appointments follow the recent addition of Carrie Grimes as Senior Managing Director and strengthen FTI Consulting's Transformation – Mining team. The hires aim to help mining clients improve operational efficiency and realise full value potential.
FTI Consulting has appointed Kelly Henney as Senior Managing Director and Australia Leader of its Information Governance, Privacy & Security practice within the Technology segment. Based in Sydney, Henney specialises in artificial intelligence governance, data privacy, digital risk and information security. Henney brings over a decade of experience handling digital risk challenges, including investigations, data breaches and enterprise-wide programmes. She previously served as Australian Privacy and Data Protection leader at a Big Four consulting firm and practised as a corporate lawyer in banking and finance.

Henney will help organisations develop adaptable governance frameworks for AI deployment and enhance digital risk resilience.
FTI Consulting reported Q4 revenues of $990.7 million, up 10.7% year-on-year and exceeding analyst expectations by 7.9%. The global business advisory firm, which operates across 30 countries helping organisations manage change and resolve disputes, delivered the strongest analyst estimate beat among nine business process outsourcing and consulting stocks tracked. The company also surpassed EPS estimates. Shares rose 7.4% following the results and currently trade at $171.89. The broader sector reported mixed Q4 results, with revenues beating consensus estimates by 1.3% on average. Industry tailwinds include digital transformation, demand for cost efficiencies and growing regulatory complexity, though companies face challenges from AI disruption, wage inflation and potential regulatory scrutiny on outsourcing practices.
FTI Consulting's latest study reveals that nearly one in four executives has experienced a cyber incident during or shortly after a corporate transaction, with 42% reporting significant deal value reduction. The research, part of the "CISO Redefined" series, surveyed 100 CISOs, 78 heads of M&A and 100 general counsel across US-based organisations. Despite 67% of M&A heads and 76% of general counsel viewing CISOs as critical during transactions, 34% of CISOs report limited involvement in decision-making. One in three CISOs lack authority or are unsure whether they can halt deals due to cybersecurity risks. The study found that 58% of respondents experienced impaired financial targets following cyber incidents, whilst 20% saw deals delayed or paused. Only 23% of executives manage cybersecurity risks proactively post-close.
