Inserra's appointment follows a majority investment from TowerBrook Capital Partners as the firm looks to scale its global platform and innovation capabilities.
Global consulting firm BRG has announced the appointment of Michael Inserra as chair of the board. Inserra, a veteran of the professional services industry, brings more than 30 years of experience to the role, most recently serving as senior vice chair of EY. He succeeds Jack Azagury, who will continue his service as a member of the BRG board.
In his new capacity, Inserra will collaborate closely with BRG's executive leadership to steer the firm's strategic direction and support long-term growth objectives. The appointment comes at a critical juncture for the firm, approximately one year after TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. completed a majority equity investment in BRG. The firm is currently focused on expanding its global platform and attracting high-level talent across its diverse practice areas, which include corporate finance, economics, and performance improvement.
"BRG has built its reputation as a trusted advisor around the same qualities that Mike brings to the table: a proven ability to scale and lead businesses through widespread disruption," said Tri MacDonald, president and CEO of BRG. He noted that Inserra's track record in executing enterprise-wide transformation initiatives will be "invaluable" as the firm continues to invest in its people and global capabilities.
During his tenure at EY, Inserra held a central role in shaping growth strategies and driving large-scale modernization programs designed to prepare the organization for the future of work. Since departing the Big Four firm, he has continued to work at the intersection of strategy and talent, advising private equity firms and portfolio companies on leadership and operating model changes in environments shaped by technological advancement.
"BRG is exceptionally well positioned at a moment of significant change across the professional services landscape," Inserra stated. He highlighted the firm's collaborative culture and entrepreneurial mindset as key differentiators, expressing a commitment to supporting leadership while "embracing innovation while staying true to its core values."
Beyond his new role at BRG, Inserra serves on the boards of Brighthouse Financial and Baker Tilly, a Hellman & Friedman portfolio company. He also serves on the advisory board of Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business.
