“We have the opportunity to make a substantial impact on the
German market and help new clients as they confront an increase in
cyber attacks across multiple industries in Germany and recently

Global Head of Cybersecurity at FTI Consulting. “With their
first-hand knowledge of the market and extensive cybersecurity
backgrounds, Hans-Peter and Frank are well-suited to expand our
practice in Germany. We are thrilled to welcome them to our global
team.”
Mr. Fischer, who is based in Frankfurt, brings more than 25
years of cybersecurity expertise to FTI Consulting. He has gained
extensive experience advising on cybersecurity strategy and
framework development, with a particular focus on advanced
cybersecurity defence, technical security assessments, threat
analysis, identity and access management, and regulatory
compliance. Before joining FTI Consulting, Mr. Fischer was a
Partner in the Cybersecurity practice at a Big Four firm, where he
was responsible for overseeing and driving large-scale security
transformation projects. Notably, he spearheaded efforts to harness
the potential of emerging technologies such as artificial
intelligence and quantum computing, evaluating their implications
for cybersecurity strategies. He also played a key role in
formulating the firm’s automotive security framework and provided
expertise on the cybersecurity aspects of mergers and acquisitions.
Prior to this, Mr. Fischer founded p³ Consulting, where he served
as CEO until orchestrating its sale.
In his role at FTI Consulting, Mr. Fischer will provide
strategic advice to clients on issues related to cybersecurity
preparedness and incident response, including compliance roadmaps
for upcoming regulations, vulnerability testing, and maturity
assessments. He will also support efforts to further expand the
presence and capabilities of the Cybersecurity practice in Germany
and across the EMEA region.
Dr. Damm, who is based in Düsseldorf, brings more than 30 years
of experience in information security to FTI Consulting, having
supported organisations in the telecommunications, logistics and
information technology sectors in implementing robust information
security measures. This includes his tenure as a chief information
security officer and approximately a decade in the role of IT
Manager and Programme Manager at a prominent German logistics
company. Before joining FTI Consulting, he was a Senior Manager in
the Cybersecurity practice of a Big Four firm. Dr. Damm holds a PhD
in cryptology from Cologne University and currently serves as the
head of the expert group for IT security management at the German
Informatics Society.
In his role at FTI Consulting, Dr. Damm will provide strategic
advice to clients on issues related to cybersecurity strategy,
transformation, risk and governance. He will work closely with Mr.
Fischer to assist organisations in Germany with their cybersecurity
challenges, from cybersecurity programme assessments to performing
complex investigations.
Renato Fazzone, Leader of the DACH region at FTI Consulting,
added, “Hans-Peter and Frank bring decades of experience in the
cybersecurity space, which will be a huge asset to the team and
clients, who increasingly seek support to navigate the complexities
of the cybersecurity landscape. We are thrilled to welcome them as
we continue the expansion of our capabilities in Germany and across
the DACH region.”
