Mark F. Giuliano, the assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division at FBI headquarters, has been named the agency’s executive assistant director of the National Security Branch, the FBI announced Monday.
“I am confident that under Mark’s leadership in managing international and domestic counterterrorism investigations, NSB will continue its strategic focus and address new and emerging threats that endanger the United States and its citizens,” FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III said in a statement.
Before becoming assistant director of the Counterterrorism Division, Giuliano was the deputy assistant director for Operations Branch II, Counterterrorism Division, at headquarters, and oversaw all domestic terrorism operations in the U.S., as well as the National Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Lone Offender Task Force, the Yemen fusion cell, the Pakistan threat group, human intelligence and strategic terrorism operations, communications exploitation and terrorist financing for FBI counterterrorism operations worldwide, the FBI said.
Prior to that, he served as section chief of the Domestic Terrorism and Strategic Operation Section.
Before joining the Counterterrorism Division, he served as assistant special agent in charge of national security for the Atlanta Division. He also served as the FBI’s on-scene commander in Afghanistan.
He started his career at the Washington Field Office’s Safe Streets and Gang Task Force.
