Several of Brady’s many passions coalesce in his current role at RSM—his love of financial services, a keen eye for teambuilding, a hardwiring for growth, and a deep investment in people. An engineer by trade, Brady spent his youth building and taking things apart to see how they worked, including assembling a nuclear reactor simulator for his graduate dissertation. This analytical mindset informs his approach to problem solving and leadership at RSM. He has long been fascinated by financial services because of its dual nature of being highly complex yet fundamental to everyday life. His natural curiosity drives him to explore what motivates and inspires people. As “Chief Excitement Officer,” he brings his enthusiasm to work every day, building high-performing teams that can deliver on the RSM promise. Before joining RSM, Brady spent two decades, including 11 years as a partner with a Big Four firm, holding leadership positions in New York, Cleveland, and London. His strategic vision is integral in shaping the future priorities of RSM.
