As a Price Waterhouse and KPMG Partner and Vice President with American Management Systems, Ralph built and managed consulting groups helping energy companies respond to sweeping industry shifts and game changing technologies. These experiences taught the value of identifying problems to be solved and how success is measured associated with mergers, large-scale system implementations, and broad business transformations.
