FTI Consulting hires energy expert Scott Cockerham as senior managing director
FTI Consulting, a Washington, DC-headquartered management consulting firm, has hired Scott Cockerham as a senior managing director in its corporate finance and restructuring segment.
Cockerham will also manage the Houston office’s power, renewables, and energy transition practice.
He brings more than 20 years of experience advising on business transformation, turnarounds and restructurings, interim management services, transaction diligence, and post-merger integration. Cockerham has expertise in all three streams of oil and gas, mining and metals, and engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”), as well as commercial solar EPC, battery storage, and testing and inspection.
Cockerham most recently spent 10 months as CFO of Camin Cargo Control, a third-party service inspection and testing provider for energy firms. Before that, he spent four-and-a-half years at AlixPartners, where he was co-leader of the restructuring energy team.
Cockerham also previously served as CEO and chief compliance officer of Conway MacKenzie Capital Advisors, VP of business development and corporate strategy at US Energy Development Corporation, and partner in the energy investment practice of Parkman Whaling.
Earlier in his career, Cockerham was an AVP at Deutsche Bank and an associate at Goldman Sachs. Cockerham began his career in the US Marine Corps, where he was an officer and a Super Cobra attack helicopter pilot.
He has an MBA from the University of Michigan and a bachelor’s degree in oceanography from the United States Naval Academy.
“Our clients are experiencing unprecedented uncertainty regarding how macroeconomic trends and policy shifts will impact the energy landscape broadly and their business plans specifically,” said Chris LeWand, leader of FTI Consulting’s global power, renewables, and energy transition practice. “I am excited for our team to be able to bring to bear Scott’s industry expertise and leadership experience to help our clients survive and thrive in this dynamic environment.”
FTI helps organizations manage change, mitigate risk, and resolve disputes. The firm has over 8,100 employees in 33 countries and territories.
FTI earlier this year added four US-based senior managing directors to its corporate finance and restructuring segment.
