Clearing a Path Forward for a French Luxury Startup

Getting to the bottom of an asset refit gone wrong.

A renovation project had fallen three months behind schedule, the launch date was repeatedly being extended and the budget had been greatly exceeded. 

A French luxury startup faced a series of challenges with a major renovation project ahead of its launch date. Meeting the launch date was important to not miss another busy season and revenue opportunities. The owner of the startup, a U.S. private equity company, asked FTI Consulting to investigate the cost overruns and delays — only to discover a shocking conflict of interest that risked the viability of the project.
