RGP Leadership

Julie

Shaver

SVP, Corporate Development & Strategy Button Text

I started my career practicing corporate law at a large global law firm. My work was mostly focused on major public transactions, and this is where I developed a passion for dealmaking. I joined RGP in 2013 to drive growth for the Legal Services practice. In 2017, I shifted gears, taking on the role of Chief of Staff to the CEO, and later transitioned to a dedicated Corporate Development position.

Background

 

Education

I graduated with a B.A. in Public Policy, summa cum lade, from Pomona College and received my J.D. from Stanford Law School.

 

Goals and Inspirations

 

What inspires you?

I am inspired by grit and tenacity in the face of adversity. My parents immigrated to the U.S. later in life with limited English and even more limited resources. I never take their sacrifice for granted and will always feel blessed for the opportunity it afforded me. In my current role at RGP, I am passionate about driving enterprise growth and enhancing client experience through highly strategic acquisitions that adhere to our values.

 

A Day in the Life

 

What was your best day at work at RGP?

Investor Day 2022; can’t beat ringing the bell at the Nasdaq alongside some of my favorite people.

What accomplishment makes you most proud since joining RGP?

I owe much of my professional development to my career at RGP. I have enjoyed the many different posts I have held over the years, which together have made me a well-rounded executive and contributor. I am most proud of my ability to effectively lead cross-functional teams, engage in tough negotiations that end in successful deal closes and ensure smooth integration post-acquisition.

 

Human-First

 

At RGP, we bring a human-first approach. What does that mean to you?

I think RGP’s culture is one of our greatest differentiators as a player in the professional services space. The priority we place on people above all else, including both our clients and our own employees is what makes RGP a special place that attracts and retains buyers and talent alike.

 

YOU Beyond RGP

 

How do you spend your time outside of work?

Chasing my boys around, snuggling with my French bulldog and cooking healthy meals for my family.

Name three words that describe you.

Warm, Positive and Driven

Do you have any skills or secret talents that most people don’t know about?
