It is with great appreciation that we are announcing the retirement of Russell Archambault from RKG Associates, Inc.

​

Russ joined RKG Associates in 1994 as a project manager in the Durham, New Hampshire office. Over his 31-year career at RKG, Russ established RKG’s Mid-Atlantic office in 1999 and led it through 2024. Russ was instrumental in the firm’s ownership transition between 2009 and 2019, guiding RKG’s leadership team with wisdom and steady counsel.

​

Beyond his role inside the firm, Russ served hundreds of clients and communities across the country with professionalism, integrity, and thoughtful solutions. His ability to connect with people and deliver meaningful results has left a lasting impact on both our firm and the field of economic and real estate consulting.

​

RKG’s President, Kyle Talente, adds this parting note, “Russ was instrumental in my development as a project manager, principal, and ultimately president of RKG Associates. His mentorship and friendship have shaped not only my career but also the way I lead our firm today. I truly would not be the same consultant—or leader—without his influence.”

​

Russ and his wife, Toby, have relocated to Johns Island, South Carolina, where they look forward to traveling and enjoying the next chapter of life.

​

On behalf of the entire RKG Team, I want to thank Russ for his dedication and steadfast leadership.  While we’ll miss his steady presence, we take comfort knowing his legacy will live on in the culture, leadership, and work of RKG. We thank him for three decades of contributions and wish him a long, healthy, and fulfilling retirement. Please join us in congratulating Russ on his remarkable career.
