Dallas-based global professional services firm RGP named Amadally Hosseinbukus managing director of its data, analytics & AI practice. The appointment will bolster support for clients, helping the firm deliver enterprise-scale data, analytics, automation and AI solutions in complex business environments, RGP said.

Due to fragmented data and inconsistent governance, organizations are “unable to bridge the gap between AI ambition and AI readiness,” RGP said. Meanwhile, the pressure for significant returns is intensifying. The missing piece is the experience in designing, managing and delivering AI at the level of complexity most organizations are seeking, the company said.

“Amadally has led large-scale AI and data programs from inside some of the world’s most successful organizations,” Scott Rottmann, president of consulting services at RGP, said in a statement. “His experience, especially within the heavily regulated industry of financial services, gives our clients something they don’t get from most advisors: someone who has actually delivered AI value at enterprise scale.”

Hosseinbukus has more than three decades of experience spanning AI, technology, consulting and financial services. In his new role, Hosseinbukus will guide RGP’s AI strategy, data and analytics modernization, intelligent automation and governance capabilities. The goal is to help clients accelerate adoption while managing risk, the company said.

“Amadally will help our clients move from AI experimentation to AI competitive advantage,” said Stephen Hook, digital solutions leader at RGP.

Leadership experience at Wells Fargo, IBM, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse

Most recently, Hosseinbukus served as managing director and global head of innovation and AI delivery for Wells Fargo’s Corporate and Investment Bank. Prior to Wells Fargo, he spent eight years at IBM Technology & Consulting in senior roles, including lead account partner for a global banking client and practice lead partner for IBM’s capital markets AI and automation practice. Earlier in his career, he held senior technology leadership positions at Deutsche Bank and at Credit Suisse, where he served as chief technology officer for the firm’s data & analytics business.

“AI is reshaping every industry, but sustainable value will come only from embedding it into the fabric of the business with trust, accountability, and measurable impact at its core,” Hosseinbukus said. “This is a defining moment for organizations. Those that pair bold ambition with disciplined execution and responsible governance will set the pace for innovation and long-term growth.”

Headquartered in Dallas with offices worldwide, RGP serves more than 1,500 clients annually, from startups and mid-market firms to 90 percent of the Fortune 100.
