Richard is a globally-minded expert who sits at the intersection of corporate real estate strategy and design strategy consulting. With over a decade of experience across North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East, he helps companies transform their real estate portfolios into strategic assets.

Most recently, Richard served as a Director of Corporate Real Estate Strategy at EY-Parthenon, where he spearheaded complex, transformative projects for a diverse client base, including leaders in tech, consumer goods, media, and professional services.

His roots in architecture and design give him a unique advantage. Earlier in his career, while obtaining his Texas architectural licensing, Richard was a Strategist at Gensler, playing a pivotal role in major corporate campus planning and development. This experience instilled in him a deep understanding of how physical space impacts business performance.

Richard’s commitment to strategic rigor led him to transition into management consulting during the Covid-19 pandemic. This shift strengthened his financial acumen and broadened his perspective to encompass the full real estate lifecycle—from big-picture vision to operational excellence.

Richard holds a Master’s in Architecture and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Texas Tech University and is a Registered Architect in New York and Texas. As a formally trained public and persuasive speaker, he seamlessly integrates strong communication skills into his professional leadership.

Now based in Los Angeles, he balances his strategic consulting work with a personal passion for the outdoors, expressing his creativity through experimenting with new recipes, and feeding his soul through travel.
