Rich brings 35 years of experience that sits at the exact intersection of financial leadership and human development – a combination that is rare and exactly what building a trusted CFO community requires.

He began his career helping Arthur Andersen develop its small business audit practice and creating TQM programs for Square D by Schneider Electric , before being recruited to restart Baxter International Inc. Healthcare’s Leadership Institute. For the past 20 years, he has run his own leadership and team coaching practice working with executives on 360 feedback, leadership workshops, team dynamics, and accountability in a way that senior leaders consistently describe as engaging and genuinely useful.

He is the author of Rules of Engagement: A Story About How Leaders Can More Effectively Engage Employees, co-author of Tapping Team Intelligence, and has served on the American Management Association faculty since 2006.

What drives Rich in this role is simple. He believes leaders make better decisions when they have access to honest conversations with people who have been in similar rooms. That is what CFO Circle is built for and it is exactly the community he is committed to building in Princeton.
