Dini brings three decades of strategic in-house and advisory experience to leading management teams
New York, May 21, 2026 – FGS Global, the strategic leadership advisory, today announced the appointment of Justin Dini as Partner and Global Co-Head of its Strategy & Reputation offering. Based in New York, Dini will co-lead the group alongside Sir Craig Oliver, based in London.
The Strategy & Reputation offering helps leaders and organizations shape and build their reputations as they navigate an increasingly complex world. FGS Global guides leadership teams in anticipating, influencing, and driving outcomes that mitigate risk and support their business goals. The practice is grounded in insights and research and integrated into the full spectrum of policy, advocacy, and communications counsel the firm provides to clients globally. Dini and Oliver will drive the growth and expansion of the practice, incorporating AI-powered tools to expand the firm’s offering to board and C-suite relationships and supporting communications leaders as demands intensify.
“Justin is a highly respected communications leader, with a track record of successfully navigating both challenges and opportunities at some of the world's most iconic companies," said Alex Geiser, Global CEO, FGS Global.
"We have long admired Justin as a leader in the field, and had the privilege of working alongside him as a client for many years," added Winnie Lerner, Partner and North America CEO, FGS Global. “Justin is an insightful, thoughtful strategist who understands the power of communications as a problem-solving tool for leadership teams. He will be a terrific addition to the team.”
Dini joins FGS Global following eight years at Paramount Global, where he served as Executive Vice President, Chief Communications Officer. In that role, he led corporate communications through an extraordinary period of transformation, including the merger of Viacom and CBS, the company's rebrand as Paramount Global, the acquisition of Pluto TV and launch of Paramount+, and the eventual merger with Skydance. Prior to Paramount, Dini was Partner and Co-Head of the US Telecom, Media & Technology practice at Brunswick Group during his decade-long tenure at the firm. He began his career as a journalist, with work appearing in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Institutional Investor, and Adweek, before serving as Special Assistant for Communications to the New York City Comptroller.
"Companies are navigating an increasingly volatile geopolitical, media, and economic landscape, and corporate affairs and communications leaders are often at the apex of that work," said Dini. "The opportunity to support those leaders, drawing on my experience as a former CCO, external advisor, and journalist at a firm with the geographic, functional, and sector breadth of FGS is truly energizing. Having worked with the team as a client, I have seen firsthand how this firm operates when the stakes are highest, and I could not be more excited to join FGS."
