CHICAGO – (May 24, 2023) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the nation’s leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market – is pleased to announce the sixth class of the RSM Industry Eminence Program. The new eminence class began their participation in the three-year program this month.

The RSM Industry Eminence Program was created in 2018 and is led by RSM’s Chief Economist Joe Brusuelas and Deputy Chief Economist Kevin Depew. Participants focus on learning the foundations of industry analysis and thought leadership development and bringing that knowledge to current and prospective clients, as well as the marketplace and their peers within the firm. The program positions senior analysts to understand, forecast and communicate economic, business and technology trends shaping the industries RSM serves.

I’m confident our new senior analysts will help drive the firm’s growth and success.”  

“Many significant structural changes have occurred in the economic and business landscape, both domestically and globally, over the past year,” said Brusuelas. “It is more important than ever to be able to analyze and effectively communicate the implications of these ongoing changes, including the resulting challenges and opportunities. Our senior analysts are poised to do just that, and I’m sure that their contributions to our firm, our clients, and the marketplace will continue to prove invaluable.”

“This program has far exceeded our expectations and it’s because of the dedication and passion the participants bring,” said Depew. “They are all excited to learn more and share that knowledge to benefit clients, prospects and the firm. These 11 new individuals coming into the program will be fortunate to have the mentorship of the current senior analysts and I am looking forward to them putting their own stamp on things.”

“I’m immensely proud of our senior analysts for the insights they produce on a regular basis, and I am pleased to welcome the newest class of senior analysts to the program,” said Sara Webber Laczo, chief communications officer with RSM US LLP and co-sponsor of the RSM Industry Eminence Program. “This highly accomplished group joins the program’s previous classes that have all seen tremendous success within their respective industries.
