AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · FTI Consulting (FCN)

FTI Consulting names Paul Linton interim CFO after Ajay Sabherwal resigns

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

FTI Consulting's board appointed Paul Linton, its Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, as interim Chief Financial Officer, effective September 12, 2025, when CFO Ajay Sabherwal's resignation takes effect. Linton keeps his current role and the filing says his compensation has not changed, so the move is a leadership transition in the finance function rather than a change in company results or strategy.

Key points

  • Paul Linton, 54, appointed interim Chief Financial Officer, effective September 12, 2025
  • Appointment follows the resignation of Ajay Sabherwal as Chief Financial Officer, previously disclosed in an 8-K filed August 12, 2025
  • Linton remains Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, a role he has held since joining in August 2014
  • Board made no changes to Linton's compensation, as described in the April 21, 2025 proxy statement
