Financial and risk advisory firm has established two new tech-led units to help clients navigate economic uncertainty and make data-driven decisions.
Financial and risk advisory firm Kroll announced the launch of two new practices, Kroll Economics and Decision Intelligence, aimed at providing clients with clearer insights for faster decision-making. The move is a direct response to what the firm identifies as client demand for guidance amid global macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical tension, and rapid technological change.
The new practices are designed to leverage technology, including artificial intelligence and real-time data, to address complex business challenges. "Clients are facing unprecedented challenges - volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity - across every aspect of business strategy and operations," said Michael H. Dolan, President of Financial Advisory at Kroll. He added that the new practices are intended to give leaders "the clarity, consistency and confidence to move quickly and make better decisions."
The Kroll Economics practice, led by London-based Managing Director Matt Corkery, will focus on a range of economic and strategic challenges. Its services include geoeconomic forecasting, scenario and risk analysis, and market intelligence. The team will utilize an automated, AI-driven approach to analyze factors like economic growth, interest rates, inflation and trade developments. The practice has team members in Delhi, Dubai, London and Sydney.
The Kroll Decision Intelligence practice is led by Managing Director Rob Moody, also based in London. This unit will support C-suite executives and boards by transforming complex financial data into actionable insights. The team combines financial and commercial expertise with data science and AI capabilities to offer services such as transaction analytics, intelligent reporting, and data monetization strategies. This practice is supported by team members in Abu Dhabi, Delhi, Dubai and New York.
"The business landscape in 2026 is set to be shaped by fast moving macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that need to be well understood and navigated," said Corkery.
This launch is part of a broader pattern of expansion for Kroll. Over the past ten months, the firm has also introduced a Trade and Customs practice, Kroll StepStone Private Credit Benchmarks and a Fund Solutions practice. During that period, Kroll also completed several acquisitions, including Global Project Strategy in Colombia, Madison Pacific in Asia Pacific, and Kirby Healy in Ireland.
