ZRG Continues LATAM Expansion
February 10, 2026 – ZRG Partners has appointed Nestor Gonzalez-Monroy as senior vice president and head of Latin America within its interim solutions & project consulting business. “Investing in Latin America is not a one-off commitment but a strategic, long-term focus for us,” said Mark Viner, president of interim solutions & project consulting at ZRG. “Nestor’s appointment strengthens our ability to respond with local insights, build high-performing teams on the ground, and deliver solutions with urgency and relevance.”
Mr. Gonzalez-Monroy brings more than 20 years of experience advising global organizations through transformation, strategic growth, and operational change. His career began in finance and evolved through senior roles at a major global consulting and project execution firm, where he supported multinational companies navigating complex, cross-border environments. Across Latin America, North America, Europe, and Asia, he has partnered closely with C-suite leaders to design strategy, build operating models, and align leadership talent with business ambition. Mr. Gonzalez-Monroy previously spent over 17 years with RGP, most recently serving as senior vice president, financial services & Mexico/Latam region leader.
Known for his bicultural and trilingual perspective, Mr. Gonzalez-Monroy has led high-growth initiatives, supported organizational setup in new markets, and built long-standing client relationships grounded in clarity, trust, and measurable progress. “He is recognized for helping leaders move from strategy to execution with speed, discipline, and sustainable impact,” ZRG said.
“I am excited to help ZRG build a world-class team for our clients across Latin America; the combination of client focus and technical leadership is powerful, and we are going to have a great impact in the region,” said Mr. Gonzalez-Monroy. “Our expansion could not be timelier as companies in the region are going through significant transformation. Whether driven by consumer demands, geopolitical shifts, technology disruption and regulatory requirements, having the right partners and the right mix of internal and external talent is critical for the success of any transformation initiative.”
