Consensus & Trust Building, Results Driven
Steve Miller
Team leader at Fitch Solutions (Former CEO of Fulcrum)
“When Fitch acquired Fulcrum Financial Data, a private-equity backed company at which I was CEO, I was concerned that the integration effort would be disruptive and demoralizing for the team. Fortunately, Fitch has the good sense to hire Ron as a consultant to lead this effort. Ron was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to get to know our business and our people. Then, he worked with the Fitch team to stage the integration in a way that was efficient, but not disruptive to our business. Ron achieved this balance by formulating a detailed plan that was ambitious but not overly so, and executing it on-time and on-budget. He consulted and coached our teams across all functions, and was nimble in adjusting the plan and problem solving as the project evolved. All-in-all, Ron did a first-rate job with a complex integration that involved a myriad of functional areas, and several regional offices. I enthusiastically recommend Ron to lead integration exercises, as well as other challenging projects. He brings an admirable combination of strong planning capabilities, acuity, excellent listening skills, and the ability to form consensus and lead disparate teams.”
Michelle
Fitch Solutions Chief Marketing Officer
"Ron was hired as a consultant to manage the overall post merger integration of a recent Fitch acquisition. As part of the project, Ron helped lead the acquisition's rebranding. Ron built trust with both sides of the deal (the acquirer and acquired), provided cadence and leadership and successfully mitigated conflicts among stakeholders leading to a successful and timely execution."
John Stynes

“I was Ron’s internal client at Verifone where Ron and his team provided consulting support to me while I was Verifone EMEA's CFO. Ron proved to be a critical resource in our transformation, his A team created an assessment of our complex European finance organization, processes and systems, gained the local teams’ support, provided honest & thoughtful recommendations, removed blockers, and helped us implement the proposal, increasing our shared service center efficiency and reducing our overall costs. Ron is a true agent of change, who excels both at the analysis as well as the execution of complex projects; he has a consultative approach, he’s a strategic thinker, result oriented and
I’d love to work with him again."
