RGL Forensics promotes four to partner

RGL Forensics, a company specialising in forensic accounting in the insurance market, has strengthened its global leadership team with the promotion of four of its global employees to partner level – including two in the UK.

There are now eight partners based in RGL’s London office and a total of 29 partners worldwide, with a total of 180 employees worldwide.

The new partners are Joe Aldous, Ben Hobby, Andrew Greenland and Frank Wisehart. Aldous and Hobby are both based in the UK.

Aldous has been with RGL for 15 years. He has been primarily specialising in advising on business interruption loss cases in power generation, industrial manufacturing, food and beverage production and leisure industries.

Hobby has handled investigations for insurers and lawyers worldwide. His insurance expertise focuses on fraud and fidelity, business interruption, cyber and reinsurance investigations. Hobby joined RGL London in 2004 to focus on forensic accounting having worked in internal audit and investigative roles in companies such as Grampian Country Food Group and Pace Microelectronics

Greenland and Wisehart are based in US and Latin America. Greenland is the current head of RGL’s operations in Chile, relocating there in 2013 having joined RGL in London. He specializes in insurance and reinsurance claims primarily related to mining, energy, agriculture and manufacturing sectors.

Greenland was promoted in recognition of his contribution in developing the South American operations from scratch and is currently co-leading the firm’s efforts to further expand RGL’s service offering in the broader Latin American market.

Wisehart joined RGL’s San Francisco office in 2014 after more than 20 years of experience in forensic accounting, business valuation and expert testimony. Wisehart joined RGL from Schneider Downs in Columbus, Ohio where he worked from 2010 to 2014. Prior to that he ran his own business, Wisehart & Wisehart for 11 years and also worked at Ernst & Young from 1997 to 1999.

Angela MacPhee, chief executive officer of RGL, said: “We are very proud to announce these appointments. Their promotions demonstrate our commitment to grow our senior team, not only through hires from outside the company but also through recognising the immense talent that exists within RGL.

“Our global team is now one of the best resourced in the industry with vast experience, strength and in-depth ability to serve our clients around the globe. We look forward to seeing their continued progress.”

MacPhee added: “We recognise that new and existing clients benefit from local partner involvement complimented by our global collaboration. As partners, Joe, Andrew, Ben and Frank will continue to help expand RGL's regional and global presence and be ready to support our clients by bringing senior-level expertise to every engagement whether it is the simplest of matters to the most complex of situations.”
