Ronald Recardo is the Managing Partner for The Catalyst Consulting Group LLC and is a recognized expert in helping companies grow, improve their performance and address their people issues. He is a world renowned thought leader - an author of 8 books and over 70 articles.

During his 30 year career he has been a successful entrepreneur and an executive for Fidelity Investments and Johnson & Johnson and worked in the “Big 5” for Arthur Anderson & Co. He is a sought after strategic advisor to executives and has successfully completed projects with over 130 different global companies across a range of industries from start-ups to the Fortune 10. His client list includes companies such as Shire, Philip Morris International, General Electric, Schick, Yale Health System, Vishay, Sandoz, and Yale University.

Ronald’s consulting practice is based on the principles of “time based competition”. His methodologies, strategies, and toolkits are based on the collective practitioner experience of Catalyst’s entire staff of consultants. This has allowed the firm to establish a long track record of implementing major strategic initiatives such as culture change, M&A, restructurings, and growth strategies in 40-50% less time. Quicker implementation makes it difficult, if not impossible, for competitors to catch up.

He has been interviewed/quoted by a number of prestigious publications such as “US News & World Report”, “The Harvard Business Review” Associated Press”, “MSNBC”, “Industry Week” and “CBS News” . Ronald has been a guest on several radio/television shows like “Big Biz Show” and “Business Talk with Jim Campbell”. His provocative points of view, “War Stories”, and solutions to complex business problems provide invaluable insight for listeners.
