His arrival is an exciting milestone for our business in Italy, as it marks the start of the expansion of our advisory capabilities beyond corporate finance, enabling us to provide even broader support to clients as their needs evolve."

"Decarbonisation, modernisation and changing energy security needs will reshape the energy sector over the next decade, influencing investment, policy and strategy worldwide," said Jason Mann, Leader of the Regulated Industries and Energy Markets group at FTI Consulting. "Riccardo has an impressive track record helping companies adapt to these shifts. His appointment reinforces our global commitment to delivering integrated, cross-border expertise that helps energy companies, investors and institutions navigate this fast-evolving market and opportunities with confidence. Together with colleagues across our global Energy team, I look forward to working with Riccardo."

Dr. Siliprandi brings more than 15 years of energy consulting, industry and academia experience to FTI Consulting. He has advised leading energy companies, international investment funds, utilities and public institutions across Italy, Europe and other jurisdictions around the world on a range of matters, including transformation and decarbonisation strategies, market analysis, business development, M&A and financing.

In addition to leading modelling, pricing and high-impact regulatory and market design studies internationally, Dr. Siliprandi has a particular expertise in energy transition, market entry, electricity, investment and transformation projects. He has also been an expert witness in numerous dispute cases under international arbitration and Italian law.
