ESG Expands Enterprise AI Advisory Practice & Appoints Richard Steele As Practice Leader

Execution Specialists Group (ESG), a strategy execution-focused consultancy based in Denver, CO, continues to expand their cross-industry enterprise artificial intelligence advisory practice for global clientele with the addition of PMO and IT solutions executive Richard Steele

Formerly the Director of the Central Portfolio Management Office (CPMO) at Charles Schwab, Rich built the organization’s global practice, leading transformational change, organizational change management, PMO operations, risks and controls, tools, financials, and reporting while supporting a $500M project portfolio. In his role, Rich also implemented innovative project and risk management frameworks and Agile best practices, and partnered with IT leaders, finance, and accounting to develop comprehensive resource planning. Throughout his more than 25 years of experience, Rich has also held leadership roles at Lewis Fowler, DaVita, and JPMorgan Chase, and has helped companies define their strategic direction through establishing clear outcomes and measures.

“Execution Specialist Group’s large enterprise clients are moving quickly to implement AI solutions, realizing that disciplined planning and execution are as critical with AI-centered technology initiatives as any of the complex initiatives they have previously undertaken, particularly when the technology is a catalyst for massive changes to business and operating models,” Mark Newhall, CEO of Execution Specialist Group emphasized. “At ESG, we continue to invest in resources that shape and support execution of these critical initiatives, just like our clients. We are thrilled to have Rich join our team as our Enterprise AI Practice Leader to support our clients and develop effective AI strategy and implementation planning for sustainable execution.”
