Resources Connection, Inc. (RGP) announced a significant expansion of its Consulting Segment, adding two senior leaders who will report directly to President of Consulting Services Scott Rottmann. The new appointments—Stephen Hook as Digital Solutions Leader and Greg Derderian as CFO Advisory Leader—bring deep expertise in platform modernization, risk systems, and global finance transformation.
Hook, formerly a senior technology executive at Credit Suisse and a key figure at Reference Point before its acquisition by RGP in 2024, will lead the firm’s digital‑solutions practice. Derderian, who previously held senior roles at Genpact and EY, will head the CFO‑advisory practice. Both leaders are expected to accelerate RGP’s ability to deliver integrated finance‑technology outcomes for CFOs, CIOs and other C‑suite executives.
The expansion reflects RGP’s broader transformation from a staffing‑centric model to a diversified consulting platform. In a market where clients demand end‑to‑end solutions that blend strategy and execution, the new leadership is positioned to deepen the firm’s higher‑margin advisory services. RGP’s move comes after a challenging quarter: Q2 fiscal 2026 revenue fell 18.4% to $117.7 million, a GAAP net loss of $12.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million, a margin of 3.4% versus 6.6% in the prior year.
CEO Roger Carlile said, “Finance and technology are increasingly moving together, driven by data and AI. Under Scott’s leadership, we are aligning our consulting segment to deliver integrated outcomes across those domains.” Rottmann added, “We believe this expansion of our consulting offerings positions us to meet the evolving demands of the market. We are investing where our clients are investing, and building the leadership required to deliver seamlessly.”
RGP’s client base now includes 90% of the Fortune 100, and the firm’s acquisition of Reference Point in 2024 has bolstered its financial‑services and digital‑solutions capabilities. Industry trends toward digital transformation, data analytics, and AI reinforce the strategic fit of the new consulting focus, positioning RGP to capture higher‑margin work and strengthen its competitive stance in the professional‑services market.
