Financial Crime Compliance Experts Michael Peters and Wolfgang Konkel Join FTI Consulting

Frankfurt, 5 May 2025 — FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) has strengthened its anti-financial crime capabilities with the addition of two senior experts within its Forensic & Litigation Consulting segment in Germany. Michael Peters joins the firm as a Senior Managing Director and Head of the Financial Crime Compliance practice and Wolfgang Konkel joins as Managing Director.

Mr. Peters and Mr. Konkel bring expertise that will expand the financial crime compliance capability delivered from the firm’s Frankfurt office to support evolving regulatory requirements and emerging developments. Together, with their team, they will advise on a range of financial crime prevention, detection and response matters, including compliance with the German Money Laundering Act and various state and federal authorities and ministries, regulatory violations and technological solutions to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of critical compliance programmes.

Mr. Peters brings more than 35 years of anti-financial crime and investigations experience to FTI Consulting and is recognised nationally and internationally by law enforcement, regulatory authorities, private sector leaders and supranational organisations as an expert in crime prevention. His areas of expertise include money laundering, terrorist financing and sanctions law.

Mr. Peters previously served as a criminal investigator with the Federal Criminal Police Office and as Deputy Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit. He later worked in the anti-financial crime department of an international German bank. These roles have given Mr. Peters a wide range of experience and a uniquely diverse perspective on financial crime compliance.

Mr. Konkel brings more than 25 years of experience in anti-financial crime, compliance and internal audit to FTI Consulting. He advises financial institutions on the implementation of regulatory requirements and the optimisation of compliance processes. Mr. Konkel has held various positions at two large auditing firms and worked for many years at a major German bank.

“We are thrilled to welcome Michael Peters, Wolfgang Konkel and other team members to our firm,” said Christian Säuberlich, leader of FTI Consulting in Germany, Switzerland and Austria (“DACH”). “They are joining our already strong FLC team as seasoned and impressive experts, a team we have built around Dr. Stefan Heissner, FLC chair in DACH—one of the leading names in investigating and preventing financial crime and corruption—over the past years. With their extensive professional expertise, they will provide our clients with the highest level of consultancy, even in the most complex cases.”

Mike Walters, EMEA Head of the Financial Services practice in the Forensic & Litigation Consulting segment at FTI Consulting, said, “With Michael Peters and Wolfgang Konkel, we are expanding our expertise in the area of financial crime compliance.
