RC Strategic Consulting

Richard Cassella, Founder & Principal Advisor

Independent, board-level advisory supporting leaders through high-stakes strategic and technology decisions.

Strategic Advisory Focus

  • • Board and executive-level strategic decision support
  • • Technology and platform strategy, selection, and risk assessment
  • • Organizational and operational clarity during periods of change
  • • Independent perspective on complex, cross-functional initiatives

How I Engage

I work directly with founders, boards, and senior executives as a trusted, independent advisor. Engagements are intentionally limited, discreet, and focused on decisions that materially impact enterprise value. My role is not execution-for-hire, but strategic clarity—bringing structure, judgment, and experience to moments that matter.

Selected Experience

  • • Key advisor to the founder of a specialized financial software company, serving as a trusted partner for both tactical execution and long-range strategic decision-making.
  • • Played a senior leadership role during a period of significant growth, supporting the company’s expansion from fewer than 100 clients to more than 1,500 clients, culminating in its acquisition by a large financial services firm.
