Jessica Block, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at RGP
The new role positions AI at the core of who RGP is; not simply adopting the latest tools but helping employees develop the knowledge and judgment to understand what is changing in RGP’s work, in its clients’ businesses, and in the market around them. Block will lead the implementation of AI for RGP and its clients in a thoughtful manner that protects confidential information and ensures responsible use. A key part of the role will be connecting AI across teams to ensure that knowledge and innovation flow across the organization in ways that expand RGP’s AI capabilities and impact.
Block’s 20 years of leadership and hands-on AI experience across consulting, legal services, technology, and transformation will enable RGP to tackle a broader range of problems for clients, as well as innovate and evolve how it solves those problems.
“This is an important moment for RGP to advance our AI capabilities across the firm in a way that strengthens both how we operate and how we serve clients,” said Roger Carlile, CEO of RGP. “Jessica brings the leadership, execution ability, and practical perspective to help us do that. I have witnessed her lead several businesses through periods of growth and change, and I know she will help us expand our capabilities while strengthening the judgment-led work our clients value most.”
Block spent more than a decade at FTI Consulting in senior roles serving major corporate and law firm clients on complex technology-driven matters using technology tools that included predictive analytics and automation. She later helped grow Ankura as part of its executive leadership team as it scaled through organic growth and acquisitions. Most recently, she served on Factor’s executive leadership team, where she led the global firm’s AI transformation and advised Fortune 500 legal departments on AI applications. Block brings hands-on experience building, testing, and applying AI-enabled tools, workflows, and offerings in real operating and client-service environments.
“RGP already has deep expertise, strong technical talent, and a history of solving complex client problems,” said Block. “The opportunity now is to connect and extend those strengths through AI; not just to adopt tools or do the same work faster, but to broaden the problems we can help solve, evolve how we solve them, and bring clients a more practical, forward-looking point of view on what is changing in their businesses and ours.”
