HRG CEO & Co-Founder
Boyd Evert
Boyd Evert is CEO and Co-Founder of HRG. Since 2010, we’ve recovered +$1.2B for our Supplier clients through powerful consultative partnerships. We leverage sophisticated AI technology alongside the deep experience of our Audit Team to research, dispute, and resolve unauthorized deductions filed by Retail clients. Our service identifies, disputes, and collects lost revenue due to underbilling and overfunding, as well as erroneous billing stemming from such difficult to isolate issues as supply chain/transportation, facilities, and location. In 2022, our clients represented over $20B across all retailers combined, with $16B in sales to Walmart US alone (4% of total sales). Our partnership has been a crucial factor in our clients' success, and their Retail clients routinely recommend us to other Suppliers in their ecosystem.
