Kroll Enhances Expertise in Latin America through Talent Acquisition
Investing in growth and leadership across Spanish-speaking regions
Kroll, a leading provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, has made a strategic move to strengthen its capabilities in the Latin American and Spanish-speaking markets. By acquiring talent from Global Project Strategy (GPS), a distinguished international boutique consulting firm, Kroll significantly expands its proficiency in international arbitration and dispute resolution. This enhancement specifically targets domains such as infrastructure, construction, energy, and financial arbitrations, alongside advanced services like delay analysis and expert witness options.
The transition sees GPS co-founders, Bernardo Gamboa Castilla and Carlos E. Sosa, stepping into the roles of Managing Directors in Kroll’s offices. With over twenty years of experience, their insights and expertise are expected to build on Kroll's existing network of professionals. Kroll, already staffed by more than 300 experts across Latin America, welcomes additional seasoned professionals from Colombia, Panama, the United States, and Venezuela to this expanding team.
Jose Albaladejo, Managing Director of Expert Services at Kroll, enthusiastically remarked, "Integrating GPS into Kroll solidifies our leadership in the dispute resolution market and bolsters our ability to offer unparalleled services in quantifying financial and technical damages. We are excited to officially welcome such a talented team that we have previously collaborated with!"
Carlos E. Sosa echoed this sentiment, saying, "We decided to join Kroll due to its esteemed reputation and commitment to excellence in the field. Leveraging Kroll's resources, we are in a stronger position to tackle complex international arbitration cases, focusing on construction disputes, delay analysis, and introducing advancements in quantum computing tailored for Latin America."
Bernardo Gamboa Castilla added, "Kroll's innovative approach and global footprint enable us to amplify our service offerings globally. By merging our expertise, we elevate our status as a premier partner in the Latin American market, committed to delivering solutions for emerging challenges in the industry."
Kroll stands as one of the foremost international dispute resolution firms, with a rich team of over 250 experts specializing in delay analysis and damage quantification. Currently engaged in more than 40 arbitration proceedings across various chambers, including the ICC, ICSID, and ICDR, Kroll also collaborates with prominent law firms across nations, including Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.
Among their noteworthy contributions, Kroll played a pivotal role as an independent expert in quantifying damages linked to the environmental disaster caused by the collapse of the Mariana mine in Brazil.
Graham McNeill, Global Head of Expert Services at Kroll, expressed excitement about the acquisition, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome the formidable professionals from GPS. Their depth of experience in disputes and project management will significantly enhance our capabilities. Their knowledge in navigating foreign investment complexities in the oil, gas, and infrastructure sectors makes them a tremendous asset to our global team. With this integration, Kroll is ready to bring more value and support to clients everywhere."
