Rick Stark Email and Phone Number

I am a serial entrepreneur and management consultant with extensive experience co-owning and advising organizations ranging from $50 million to $5 billion in North America.My career began in high technology, where I spent over 20 years as the co-owner and CEO of PROFITsystems, Inc. (PSI), the leading provider of software and services to the retail furniture industry. In 2006, I successfully sold PSI to The Riverside Company, a $5 billion private equity firm, and continued serving on PSI's Board of Directors until 2014, when the company was acquired by Accellos, Inc., a KKR portfolio company.As a lifelong learner, I have pursued advanced studies in Finance and Leadership for Professional Service Firms from institutions including Harvard, Wharton, Columbia, and, most recently, MIT ('23–'24). However, my most valuable lessons have come from collaborating with the exceptional businesses I’ve had the privilege to work with.Following the sale of PSI, I dedicated seven years to a passion project, serving as a uniformed police officer and homicide detective. Later, I joined SocialSEO (now Intero Digital) as Co-Owner, COO, and CFO, where I played a key role in scaling the company from $2 million to $50 million in revenue over 5 years. My true passion lies in empowering business owners to achieve their goals and unlock their full potential. I do what I love - and I love helping business owners reach their dreams.
