FTI Consulting, a Washington, DC-headquartered management consulting firm, has hired Angela Nam as its chief financial officer, effective May 1, 2026.

Nam, who is based New York, will succeed Paul Linton, who has held the interim CFO role since September 2025. Linton will return to his prior role as chief strategy and transformation officer.

Before that, Nam spent eight years with Fortress Investment Group, where she was SVP for private equity. In the role, she focused on transaction advisory processes for IPOs, spin-offs, equity and debt offerings, and acquisitions.

Earlier in her career, Nam spent 10 years with KPMG, where she was a senior manager in audit and advisory services.

She has a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance from Emory University.
