LONDON, June 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN), the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organisations protect and enhance their enterprise value, today announced that Professor Damien Neven joined the Brussels office of Compass Lexecon, an FTI Consulting subsidiary, as a Senior Consultant and member of the Compass Lexecon Advisory Committee.

Professor Neven is a distinguished academic economist with a particular focus on competition economics and international economic integration. His previous appointments include Senior Academic Consultant to Charles River Associates and Chief Competition Economist at the Directorate General for Competition at the European Commission from 2006 to 2011. During his time at the Commission, he spearheaded the tripling of the Chief Economist Team from approximately 10 professionals to nearly 30 highly trained economists, and played a role in all the key policy and case assessment developments.

Professor Neven added, "I am really pleased and excited to be joining the team at Compass Lexecon. I know from my own experience of their work just how justified their stellar reputation in the competition world is, and I am greatly looking forward to working with Jorge and his team of outstanding economists."
