On January 13, 2026, FTI Consulting named Jason Smolanoff as Senior Managing Director in its Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment’s Cybersecurity practice. Smolanoff brings more than 25 years of information-security experience, having led Kroll’s Cyber Risk practice and served as Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI. In his new role, he will expand FTI’s cyber-risk management capabilities—covering program assessments, incident response, complex investigations and managed services—across 32 countries and territories. His appointment enhances FTI’s ability to meet rising client demand for tailored risk-management solutions in an evolving threat environment.

FTI Consulting’s shares have outperformed industry peers, driven by a diversified service portfolio spanning corporate finance, economic consulting, strategic communications and cybersecurity. The firm generated $3.70 billion in revenues during fiscal 2024 and employs over 8,100 professionals worldwide. With a healthy balance sheet—cash and equivalents exceeding $500 million—and an ongoing share-repurchase program authorized through 2026, FTI forecasts modest earnings growth next year. Investors benefit from the company’s strong liquidity position, regular buybacks and multi-disciplinary consulting model, which together support stable margins and reduce exposure to any single industry downturn.
