MEXICO CITY — FTI Consulting has strengthened its energy and natural resources bench in Mexico with the appointment of Aldo Flores-Quiroga as a senior advisor within the firm’s Strategic Communications segment.
Flores-Quiroga, a former secretary-general of the International Energy Forum from 2012 until 2016, will support global and local energy sector mandates, including with issues management and strategic counsel.
FTI Consulting’s global leader of energy and natural resources within the Strategic Communications segment, Chris Tucker, said: “Dr. Flores-Quiroga not only understands the most critical issues facing the energy industry around the world, but he’s also helped define them.
“His perspective will be incredibly valuable to our clients not just in Mexico, but the broader Americas region, and the world over. His appointment enhances our ability to provide sector-driven counsel on cross-segment, business-critical challenges that pose a financial, regulatory, legal or operational risk.”
In his role at the International Energy Forum, based in Riyadh, Flores-Quiroga structured and negotiated ministerial and expert meetings on oil markets and energy policy and led the team coordinating the Joint Organizations Data Initiative, which increased transparency in the global oil markets with support from the International Energy Agency and the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
He also served as undersecretary of hydrocarbons at Mexico’s Ministry of Energy from 2016 to 2018, where he launched a new strategy for oil exploration and production.
Flores-Quiroga said: “FTI Consulting has led the way in crafting successful strategies for organizations that seek to thrive in an increasingly complex energy landscape. I look forward to working alongside the team to leverage my background and add further value to the firm and its clients in the energy and natural resources sector.”
