He also represented Shepard Smith, in connection with his recent departure from Fox News, as well as New York Yankees manager Brian Cashman.

He has also held positions at investigations firm Kroll Associates; NBC News, where he served as an investigative producer on “Dateline;” the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc., and has worked in Asia and the Middle East.

“Now more than ever, clients face tough issues and decisions, in crisis situations but also as they lead their businesses minute by minute,” said Giglio. “I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to join the talented team at Rubenstein, to help clients manage these situations strategically and successfully.”

Steven Rubenstein, president of Rubenstein, added of Giglio that “his judgment, wisdom and deep experience will add meaningful value across our teams and to our clients as they navigate complex situations.”
