FBI Director James Comey named Randall Coleman as executive assistant director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch at the FBI headquarters (FBIHQ), the bureau said Tuesday.
As executive assistant director, Coleman will oversee global FBI criminal and cyber investigations, international operations, critical incident responses, and victim assistance. Coleman most recently served as assistant director of the counterintelligence division since 2014.
Coleman earlier entered the FBI in 1997 and served in several leadership capacities including from supervisory special agent in the counterintelligence division at FBIHQ, counterintelligence program coordinator and squad supervisor at the San Antonio Division, assistant special agent in charge of the national security programs for the San Antonio Division, section chief of the counterespionage section at FBIHQ, and special agent in charge of the Little Rock Division.
At the Little Rock Division, beginning in 2012, Coleman “established a public corruption task force responsible for significant arrests and prosecutions throughout the state of Arkansas, as well as a counterintelligence task force and cyber threat center,” the bureau said in a statement.
