Barrett previously served as managing director at FTI Consulting, an independent global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations manage change, mitigate risk, and create shareholder value. Prior to his role in strategic advisory consulting, Barrett worked in consumer goods on both the client and agency side developing brand strategies and activation programs.
