Mr. Marlin has more than 25 years of communications experience handling major crises, high-stakes litigation, financial transactions, cyber incidents and government investigations. His private sector clients have included Merck, J&J, Pfizer, Nike, Wal Mart, Cigna, Equifax, Mars, Shell, Bosch, Ford, the Writer’s Guild, the National Collegiate Athletics Association (“NCAA”), U.S. Foodservice, AstraZeneca and Novartis, among many others.

Prior to FTI Consulting, Mr. Marlin served for nearly five years at the SEC under Chairs Mary Jo White and Mary L. Schapiro. While there, he coordinated communications strategy on a range of significant issues, including the agency’s landmark policy of seeking admissions in certain enforcement cases, and major rulemaking stemming from the Dodd-Frank Act and the JOBS Act.
