Frank’s arrival enables us to do just that.”

Mr. Martin, who is based in Frankfurt, brings more than 25 years of experience in the aviation industry. He has advised commercial airlines, aircraft and engine manufacturers, businesses within the aviation supply chain, lessors and investors on a range of strategic issues, particularly in technical operations. He also helps clients with value-creation projects, including cost reduction, process optimisation, contract negotiations, restructurings and workforce planning.

In his role at FTI Consulting, Mr. Martin will focus on expanding the firm’s aviation offering and providing clients with tech ops transformation advice to support the delivery of large-scale transformations and restructurings.

Prior to this, Mr. Martin served as a Partner at Seabury Consulting and was a Vice President at the Swiss SR Technics Group, an MRO service provider to the aviation industry.
