New team brings a suite of advanced, AI-enabled ERM tools to Baker Tilly’s service offerings

CHICAGO (June 12, 2024) – Leading advisory, tax, and assurance firm Baker Tilly announces a significant enhancement to its enterprise risk management (ERM) capabilities. This expansion brings a team of six experienced professionals with diverse ERM skills, industry experience and advanced AI-enabled tools, positioning Baker Tilly to deliver unmatched ERM solutions that bridge strategy, risk and compliance.

The expanded ERM team includes Managing Director John Rogula and specialists with 140 years of collective ERM experience. Together, this group developed a suite of advanced, AI-enabled ERM tools, which will now be integrated into Baker Tilly’s service offerings.

Recognizing the increasing complexity of risks in the business environment, Baker Tilly offers a scalable approach to ERM. This enables organizations to proactively identify, evaluate and prioritize risks and opportunities, reducing the chance of loss, creating stakeholder value, improving operational performance, maintaining financial stability and driving innovation.

“Our clients trust us to navigate the complexities of enterprise risk management,” said Heather Acker, Baker Tilly risk advisory managing principal. “By integrating a customizable ERM methodology and leveraging AI-enabled tools, we align risks and opportunities with our clients’ strategic objectives. This expansion and investment underscore our commitment to delivering superior risk management solutions that foster business resilience and long-term success.”

“I am thrilled to bring our team’s extensive ERM specialization to Baker Tilly,” Rogula said. “The opportunity to continue our entrepreneurial drive and passion for ERM in a dynamic and supportive environment like Baker Tilly, which already has world-class risk advisory capabilities, is incredibly exciting.”

Prior to joining Baker Tilly, Rogula and his team formed a boutique ERM firm offering end-to-end risk solutions across diverse industries, including Fortune 100, mid-sized and not-for-profit companies.
