RGP announced that it has promoted Richard Toledo to lead its Risk & Compliance Practice. This falls under its Consulting Services Segment. This follows RGP’s continued investment in supporting businesses in managing increasingly complex regulatory, operational, and technology risk environments. This risk environment is becoming more challenging as finance, digital, and AI-related initiatives intersect. Risk and governance priorities are rising for CFOs and CIOs. Organizations are speeding up the adoption of AI, upgrading their systems, and increasing their digital activities.
Expanding Risk and Compliance Focus
These developments bring about regulatory, operational, and information management challenges. Thus, organizations need integrated risk management strategies in finance, technology, and operations. Organizations are required to enhance their governance structures, manage cybersecurity risks, and deal with regulatory changes. In addition, organizations face risks related to fragmented systems and information management complexities.
“Risk management today is no longer confined to compliance functions; it sits at the center of enterprise transformation,” said Scott Rottmann, President of Consulting Services at RGP.“As organizations adopt AI and modernize their technology environments, leaders must ensure that governance, controls, and risk visibility evolve alongside innovation. Richard brings deep experience helping organizations strengthen their risk frameworks while enabling transformation to move forward responsibly.”
Leadership and Industry Experience
RGP has experience in providing risk and compliance consulting and scalable talent solutions. This helps organizations address their workload and meet deadlines effectively for regulatory compliance. It also helps organizations tackle risk initiatives related to transformation more effectively. In this role, Toledo will lead enterprise risk management, internal audit, regulatory compliance, controls, and SOX initiatives.
“Effective risk governance is table stakes,” said Toledo. “But the risks we’re watching most closely right now are the ones no one has on their dashboards yet. Entire industries are converging on the same AI models, vendors, and data, creating shared vulnerabilities. Think of the 2010 Flash Crash, when markets lost $1 trillion in under 30 minutes because trading algorithms reacted to the same signals. Now imagine that kind of systemic reaction happening across multiple industries at once. Efficiency looks strong, until a single point of failure takes everyone down.”
