For Immediate Release
Costa Mesa, CA, May 22, 2007 -- Resources Global
Professionals, a leading multinational provider of professional services and
the operating subsidiary of Resources Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: RECN),
announced today the promotion of Tanja Cebula to Senior Vice President and
member of the company’s six-member Executive Officer Group.
Ms. Cebula, 45, a 10-year veteran of Resources Global
Professionals, is responsible for
the Company’s Western Region, which includes 18 U.S. offices from Honolulu to
Kansas City and is Resources’ second largest global region. In this role, she oversees operations, financials
and recruiting while mentoring teams and offering strategic guidance to the
practices within the region. This promotion also reflects Ms. Cebula’s impact
outside of her official responsibilities, including her marketing guidance,
influence on Resources’ corporate culture and overall leadership contributions.
Ms. Cebula began her
Resources career in 1997, when Resources was still a subsidiary of Deloitte
& Touche, as Managing Director and founder of the Company’s Portland,
Oregon office. She played a key role in Resources’ management-led buyout from
Deloitte & Touche in 1999. She moved to Southern California as Regional
Managing Director in 2000 to oversee offices in that area, taking on
responsibility for the Pacific Northwest in 2002 and the entire Western Region
in 2004. Over the last two years, revenues for the Western Region have almost
doubled while, since 2000, Southern California revenues have increased more
than fivefold.
“It is with great
pleasure that I announce Tanja’s promotion to Senior Vice President and welcome
her to our Executive Officer Group, where her insights will be highly valued,” said
Donald B. Murray, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Resources Global
Professionals. “This promotion is
very well deserved and recognizes Tanja’s contribution as one of the leaders
from our first years of business. For more than a decade, Tanja has helped us
build a strong corporate culture, successful business strategy and well
respected position in the marketplace.”
Prior to her Resources
career, Ms. Cebula served as Product Director for Johnson & Johnson Medical
in Dallas, Texas and Senior Auditor for Deloitte & Touche in Portland,
Oregon.
Currently, she is on
the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation Board in Orange, California. In addition,
she co-founded the Breast Health Awareness Foundation whose mission is to bring
breast cancer awareness to corporate America. A five-year breast cancer
survivor, Ms. Cebula is an avid runner and proponent of exercise for health and
wellbeing. She has also served on the board of the Oregon Council for Hispanic
Advancement.
Ms. Cebula received her Bachelor of Science degree from Oregon State University and her Masters of Business Administration from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. She and her family reside in Tustin, California.
