Richard serves founder-led and middle market companies as a CEO advisor, fractional/interim COO/CSO, or project consultant. He helps them break through stalled growth, improve profitability, and reduce founder/CEO dependence, especially when they need to scale, prepare for transition, or exit. He has run P&Ls from $25M to $1.5B with a whole-business perspective – integrating strategy, people, and operations rather than optimizing functions or processes in isolation. He’s an operating executive, not a theorist, who has been accountable for the numbers, so he knows what it takes to move them.
