FTI Consulting Adds Senior Chemicals Industry Expert to Further Expand Business Transformation Practice in Europe
03 Giugno 2024 - 8:00AM
FTI Consulting Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced the continued
expansion of its business transformation capabilities in Europe
with the addition of chemicals industry expert Stefan Van Thienen,
who joins the firm as a Senior Managing Director in the Corporate
Finance & Restructuring segment. His arrival follows the recent
launch of the firm’s Business Transformation practice in Belgium
with the addition of Jean-Michel Mollo.
Mr. Van Thienen specialises in operational
management and business optimisation within the chemicals sector,
particularly in the areas of sustainability and digital
transformation. In his role at FTI Consulting, he will help expand
the firm’s chemicals capabilities within its business
transformation offering across Europe to provide clients with a
broad range of services across the business lifecycle, from
transactions to transformations.
“Against the ever-evolving backdrop of high energy
and supply-chain costs, heavy regulation, subdued growth, climate
change and the demands of the digital transformation programmes,
chemical businesses in Europe have a lot on their plate,” said
Diederick van der Plas, Head of the Corporate
Finance & Restructuring segment in Europe, the Middle East and
Africa at FTI Consulting. “Stefan will play a key role in helping
our clients with these critical challenges and opportunities. His
deep industry knowledge and consulting experience make him an
important hire for our chemicals offering and wider expansion plans
for the Business Transformation practice in Europe.”
Mr. Van Thienen joins the firm with 30 years of
experience in the chemicals sector. He spent half of his career
working in industry managing a variety of operations, including
engineering design, supply chain and production, site management
and crisis situations. Mr. Van Thienen then moved into consultancy,
where he has advised the senior leadership teams of chemicals
companies on matters such as supply-chain strategy, performance
improvement, climate change actions, and digital- and large-scale
business transformations.
As a consultant, Mr. Van Thienen has worked with
clients across Europe, including France; Belgium; the Netherlands;
the DACH region of Germany, Switzerland and Austria; and Central
and Eastern Europe.
Prior to joining FTI Consulting, Mr. Van Thienen
was a partner at Deloitte, where he was the Energy & Chemicals
sector leader for Germany and Central Europe, and a global client
leader. He previously served as chemicals sector leader for
Deloitte North and South Europe. Mr. Van Thienen’s industry
experience includes roles in the former rubber division of German
chemical company Bayer and in the Engineered Materials business of
U.S. industrial and engineering company J.M. Huber Corporation.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Van Thienen
said, “Crisis and transformation-focused services are core
strengths for FTI Consulting, and these services are in high demand
for clients in the chemicals sector. It is great to be part of the
firm’s ambition to expand its business transformation services to
clients in Germany and across Europe more broadly.”
