Prior to joining RFG, he was a Certified Senior Consultant in the IBM Consulting Group, where he specialized in business strategy management, process reengineering, and customer relationship issues.

Today, Mr. Braunstein, as chief executive of RFG, deals with many of the same strategic and operational issues IT executives face daily. He brings his understanding of the business, financial, legal, organizational, political, and process tradeoffs to bear as he wrestles with client business issues. In the past few years he has worked extensively with RFG client executives with their regulatory compliance and governance concerns. Additionally, he frequently assists clients with the procurement process, with an emphasis on contract negotiation, service level agreements (SLAs), and terms and conditions.
His background enables him to examine the impact of IT change on user communities, with a focus on enterprise systems within the financial services, insurance, and travel industries. His knowledge of 24x7 mission-critical systems gives him the uncommon ability to look at enterprise architectures and operations holistically, from mainframe systems to client devices, with a business-focused perspective.
