Richard Byrd
President

Richard was for many years an executive in a wide variety of organizations. He brought that experience to bear as the owner of a general business consulting practice. In this he assisted hundreds of companies in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, wholesale, services, construction, real estate and other areas – and of various sizes from one-man-band to New York Stock Exchange listed. Finding more and more that what clients needed was first and foremost better marketing, he partnered with Robert Nelson to form Fast Forward Marketing and PR, Inc.  Some of his noteworthy accomplishments included, for a publicly owned company, solving the mystery of two years of flat sales in one of their divisions, leading to renewed growth and highest ever sales. He developed and led implementation of a marketing strategy for a manufacturing company that took them from $1 million in debt to solvent in less than a year.  Richard is responsible for administration and business development.
