FTI Consulting today named Joshua Baca as a Senior Managing Director in its Strategic Communications segment. Based in Washington, D.C., Mr. Baca brings over 20 years of experience advising corporations and industry groups on stakeholder engagement, reputation management and advocacy campaigns. His track record includes leading Resilient Partners—an advocacy and communications firm serving clients in chemicals, materials, consumer and retail—and prior senior roles at the American Chemistry Council and American Beverage Association. Investors should view this hire as a targeted move to deepen FTI’s capabilities in managing regulatory and public affairs risks for clients operating in complex policy environments.

FTI’s Strategic Communications segment has been one of the fastest-growing divisions within the firm over the past three fiscal years, with segment revenues growing at a compounded annual rate above the corporate average. Mr. Baca’s expertise in designing integrated campaigns to mitigate litigation and regulatory risks is expected to drive cross-selling opportunities with FTI’s litigation consulting and corporate finance practices. Management has highlighted the segment’s pipeline of advocacy mandates in energy transition and healthcare, signaling potential margin expansion and higher blended fees in the coming quarters.

As of September 30, 2025, FTI Consulting employed more than 8,100 professionals across 32 countries and reported full-year fiscal 2024 revenues of $3.70 billion. The firm’s diversified portfolio—spanning forensic accounting, economic consulting, strategic communications and corporate finance—has delivered average annual revenue growth of 6% over the last five years. With global advisory spend on crisis management and regulatory strategy projected to increase, FTI’s bolstered senior leadership in public affairs positions the company to capture incremental market share in high-value mandates.
