FTI Consulting has hired Capitol Hill veteran Brian Papp as a managing director in its strategic communications unit, where he will advise clients on public policy and government relations matters.
Most recently, Papp was staff director on the Senate Finance Committee's subcommittee on international trade, customs and global competitiveness.
Earlier, he served as a senior policy advisor for Delaware Senator Tom Carper, advising him on labor and agriculture issues during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bryan Zumwalt, head of FTI's government affairs in the Americas unit, expects clients will benefit from Papp's insights on the workings in Washington and from the trusted relationships that he has developed with the Biden administration and senior staff in both the House and Senate.
