Dick Goldman is an accomplished leader who has held important roles in the growth, expansion and transformation of global and emerging enterprises. He has deep skill in executive management of finance and operations, and has focused his career in assessing challenges and sizing risks, solving difficult problems and working closely with his clients: the chief executives and boards of directors of these organizations.
"I strive to anticipate issues, risks and their potential impacts often before they are visible, and I'm willing to take an alternate path from the conventional wisdom when that path is appropriate to best serving my client. I place personal integrity and commitment to excellence, including avoiding conflicts of interest, as uncompromising values in determining courses of action for my clients. It is their satisfaction with my performance and responsiveness that is paramount. I seek to deliver this and provide greater value to my clients through my strong relationships with advisors from other disciplines."

These organizations ranged from some of the largest American companies to pure startups and emerging-growth companies.
