Appointment aims to bolster the firm's advisory services for middle-market clients facing an increasingly complex regulatory and policy environment.
RSM US LLP has appointed James Alex as its new U.S. Public Policy and Government Affairs Leader. The move brings a seasoned policy expert with extensive public and private sector experience to the firm as it looks to enhance its guidance for middle-market clients.
In his new role, Alex will be responsible for providing clients with insights on policy developments from Washington, D.C., and key state capitals. He will also represent the firm in dialogues with policymakers and industry stakeholders.
This appointment comes as businesses, particularly in the middle market, navigate a landscape of growing policy risk. By bringing in a leader with direct government experience, RSM is positioning itself to offer more proactive and strategic counsel on how legislative and regulatory changes can impact business operations, growth and long-term value
"James's appointment strengthens RSM's ability to deliver insights that matter to middle market clients as they modernize, grow and navigate change," said Stuart Taub, enterprise industry and markets leader with RSM US LLP. "His deep experience navigating complex policy environments will help clients anticipate challenges, seize opportunities and make informed decisions."
Alex is returning to RSM, where he previously served as the U.S. Tax Growth leader. His career includes significant roles in public service, such as State Tax Commissioner for the Commonwealth of Virginia, where he managed the collection of over $30 billion in state revenues, and Senior Advisor at the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Tax Policy. He has also held a leadership position at a Big Four accounting firm.
"I'm glad to return to RSM at such an important time for the middle market," said Alex. "The firm has extensive knowledge and insights that help policymakers better understand this vital segment of the economy... As these businesses grow, they face increasing policy risk, and RSM stands ready to help them navigate it."
