Dick is the former VP of Operations for the Jack Eckerd Corporation where he oversaw logistics, financial management, marketing and talent management for what became the second largest drug store chain in the United States with 2800 stores. After a 27-year career at Eckerd, Dick started his own business, and like many entrepreneurs, struggled to achieve success. He eventually grew it to over $30 Million in revenue but learned first-hand about the problems he now helps business owners, venture capital and private equity groups overcome in his current business called Saddletree Consulting. Dick has worked to enhance start-up companies, provide management training, turn around struggling operations, improve the bottom line, secure capital and establish financial and operating metrics for teams to achieve success. Having been through an IPO, he understands both how to achieve the best price for a company as well as how to optimize their debt and equity stacks.
Dick, who will evaluate businesses for appropriate private offerings, liquidation events, and optimization, will use Bulleblock and their associated partners to add value to his current business and the clients that he serves.
Dick, a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University, also received his MBA from the University of Michigan.
