RGP’s
Murray to Retire from Executive Chairman Role, Will Remain as
Chairman

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2015--Resources Global
Professionals (“RGP” or “the Company”), the operating subsidiary of
Resources Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: RECN), announced today that Donald
B. Murray will transition at the end of August 2015 from his role as
Executive Chairman to non-employee Chairman of the Board. Mr. Murray,
the founder and visionary for RGP, has served as the Company’s Executive
Chairman since June 2013, when he transitioned from his role as the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Since the Company’s formation in
1999, Mr. Murray has continuously served as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors.
Mr. Murray founded RGP in 1996, as a venture-backed operating entity
within a Big Four accounting firm. He led a management buyout of RGP in
1999, with the private equity firm, Evercore Partners. Mr. Murray served
as the Company’s CEO for more than 17 years, and his leadership was
characterized by a record of significant growth, creation of a strong
corporate culture and the development of a unique, agile business model
providing intellectual capital on demand to a growing and loyal client
base around the world.
In announcing this move, Mr. Murray stated: “I have enjoyed leading and
serving RGP for almost 20 years. I am grateful to our Board of
Directors, our management team, and all of our employees who have
contributed to the success of our organization. This planned retirement
is consistent with our Company’s succession strategy, as I have worked
with Tony Cherbak, RGP’s CEO, over the past two years to complete the
executive transition. I am excited about the future of RGP as I believe
that Tony will lead the organization successfully into the next stage of
growth and development.”
Robert Pisano, who will continue in his role as Lead Independent
Director of the Board said: “We are grateful for Don’s vision and keen
understanding of the professional services and consulting industry. As
Chairman of the Board, Don will continue to serve the organization with
his strategic insights and passion for helping clients solve their
business issues. We are operating in a new economy which demands
increasing agility and flexibility. RGP is perfectly poised to deliver
for our clients.”
