(NYSE:FCN), a $5.6 billion market cap professional services firm with a "GOOD" financial health rating according to InvestingPro, announced Wednesday the appointment of Eva Tomlinson as Senior Managing Director and Breck Heidlberg as Managing Director in its Export Controls, Sanctions and Trade practice.
The new executives bring a combined 40 years of experience in global trade strategy and regulatory compliance to the firm’s Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment, according to a company press release.

She previously founded a multimillion-dollar advisory firm focused on FTZ solutions that was later acquired by UPS, where she subsequently served as a vice president.
Heidlberg, based in Atlanta, will focus on expanding the firm’s export controls and sanctions advisory services. He previously led global initiatives for Microsoft’s trade compliance team and held positions at The Coca-Cola Company. His background also includes a decade of U.S. government service at the State Department and CIA.
"Adding Eva and Breck continues our commitment to invest in top-tier global trade talent," said Anthony J. Ferrante, Global Head of the Cybersecurity and Export Controls, Sanctions and Trade practices at FTI Consulting.
The appointments come as companies navigate increasingly complex trade regulations and geopolitical tensions affecting global supply chains.
