Richard draws upon a 25+ year corporate career that included management positions in sales, HR/training, and engineering management. During this time, he worked for multiple employers that spanned the full range of organizational sizes... from a Fortune100 to a pre-IPO VC funded startup.
For the last 20 years, Richard has been an independent consultant and coach to small business owners (he is a Visage chair) and executives in larger corporations. His dual passions are helping (1) business owners grow more profitably while increasing their work/life balance and (2) corporate executives focus and achieve better career results.
Richard is an ISO Certified Management Consultant and a Board-Certified Coach (BCC), with a BS in Electrical Engineering and membership in Mensa USA.
