Pritcher will succeed Tim Kersten, who will transition to chairman of the board.
"I am honored to be selected as RKD's next CEO. Serving nonprofit clients is my home base—and it is a privilege to join an organization who delivers innovative strategy and solutions that help our clients thrive in their missions," Pritcher said in a news release. "We are a purpose-driven company—enabling nonprofits to solve some of the most complex problems in the world—and I will do my best to serve our clients and teams so that we can continue to make the world more humane, just, and compassionate."
