Prior to joining FTI Consulting in October 2016, he was a Managing Director with Deloitte’s Audit practice in New York. Michael began his career at Deloitte as a staff accountant and became a Partner/Managing Director in 2001. During his tenure at Deloitte, Michael participated in thousands of audits, and led hundreds of audits.
