ASHBURN, Va., December 10, 2020 — FSA Federal has added two senior managers with deep expertise in law enforcement to support federal agencies under the company’s Asset Forfeiture Administrative Support Services contract with the U.S. Department of Justice. Ruth Porter-Whipple has been named Regional Director of the North Central U.S. region, and Lee Madeam has been named Agency Manager supporting the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“Both of these leaders will be key drivers to help DOJ effectively accomplish its mission to disrupt dangerous criminal organizations that threaten communities nationwide,” said George B. Mendiola, Jr., president of FSA Federal. “Their strengths align extremely well with FSA’s core values—integrity, trust, mission, respect, and accountability.”

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice from St. John’s University.
