WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced the appointment of Paul Abbate as a Senior Managing Director in the firm’s National Security offering.
Mr. Abbate, who is based in Washington, D.C., brings nearly 30 years of law enforcement and intelligence experience, having served in executive leadership roles at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) in the United States and abroad. Most recently, he held the position of Deputy Director of the FBI, where he oversaw domestic and international investigative and intelligence activities across the organization, focused on protecting national security, safeguarding the economy and ensuring public safety.
In his role at FTI Consulting, Mr. Abbate will support the firm’s National Security offering, concentrating on helping clients identify geopolitical risk and combat the actions of threat actors, including conducting, overseeing and supporting discrete, sensitive investigations involving espionage, insider threats and other complex security matters. Leveraging his extensive experience working with international partners across the public and private sectors, Mr. Abbate will focus on ensuring organizations strengthen their internal and external defenses and adhere to national security requirements and regulations.
“Paul is a respected, collaborative global leader with deep experience in investigative and intelligence activities aimed at protecting national security,” said Anthony J. Ferrante, Global Head of the Cybersecurity practice at FTI Consulting. “His reputation, unparalleled insights and strong network of international relationships will further position FTI Consulting as a leader in the national security, cybersecurity and geopolitical risk spaces.”
Mr. Abbate’s experience working firsthand with international law enforcement agencies and FBI partners helps bolster the already deep bench of intelligence experts at FTI Consulting and signals further investment from the firm in the National Security offering.
During his time at the FBI, Mr. Abbate led complex domestic and international cross-agency investigations that mitigated national security risks, enhanced information sharing and improved coordination across all levels of the agency. Mr. Abbate held diverse assignments and executive leadership roles, including leading the field offices covering Washington, D.C. and Michigan; overseeing national security squads in Los Angeles and New Jersey; and serving as a team leader and liaison officer in various locations in the Middle East and Africa. He will leverage this experience when assisting clients with their multifaceted challenges arising from nation-states and advanced threat actor techniques.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Abbate said, “National security is not just a concern for government and law enforcement agencies. The threat landscape is constantly and rapidly evolving, making it critical for the private sector to maximize awareness and understanding of the risks posed by sophisticated threat actors looking to disrupt operations and cause harm. I look forward to working alongside our deep bench of former intelligence and federal law enforcement officials as we help our clients navigate today’s growing and multifaceted risk environment.”
