Washington, D.C., March 28, 2023 — FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced the appointment of Meredith Griffanti as Global Head of the Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Communications practice within the Strategic Communications segment, further strengthening the firm’s investment in the cybersecurity field.
Ms. Griffanti, a Senior Managing Director based in New York, has spent the last four years at FTI Consulting overseeing the growth of the firm’s cybersecurity communications capabilities. She most recently served as Americas Co-Leader of the Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Communications practice, specializing in crisis communications during incident response and cybersecurity preparedness planning.
In her expanded role, Ms. Griffanti will focus on partnering with leaders and teams globally to further strengthen the firm’s holistic cybersecurity communications capabilities and enhance new levels of collaboration to support clients.
“Meredith is known by her colleagues as a leader committed to the development and success of our people and clients,” said Mark McCall, Global Leader of FTI Consulting’s Strategic Communications segment. “Organizations across all industries are facing new data privacy challenges every day, and they rely on FTI Consulting for a proactive and multidisciplinary approach to communications counsel and support throughout the lifecycle of an event. With Meredith’s guidance, our growing team of experts will find innovative solutions for our clients’ most complex communications challenges across our global network.”
FTI Consulting’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Communications practice is one of the largest cross-border crisis communications teams in the cybersecurity space, responding to some of the most high-profile cybersecurity incidents in recent years. The offering provides communications support throughout the length of a cyber incident and across stakeholder groups to protect client reputation.
Commenting on her appointment, Ms. Griffanti said, “The same cyber threat actors are targeting businesses large and small around the globe – which means our multinational clients need both specialized cyber communications expertise and in-market resources with a deep understanding of their specific geographies to help them effectively respond. When — not if — these challenges arise, organizations must know what to say to their key stakeholders and how to make crucial communications decisions to protect their reputations and business relationships. I look forward to continuing to grow our deep roster of talented communications professionals across our global network and further expanding FTI Consulting’s specialized Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Communications practice to provide clients the tools and counsel they need to mitigate the risks of these mounting challenges.”
Anthony J. Ferrante, FTI Global Head of Cybersecurity, added “Cybersecurity is not only one of the most critical technological challenges of our time, it is also among the most complex communications imperatives for companies facing reputational risks associated with cyber incidents. Having Meredith at the helm of FTI Consulting’s global cybersecurity communications practice enhances our unique ability to support clients as they navigate today’s complex threat landscape.”
