After two years in the Navy, Richard Greenwald enrolled in the College of Business, attending classes at night while working a full time day job, earning his degree in management in 1978. Subsequent career moves included working for Computer Task Group in Houston as a systems development project manager and as a marketing rep at AGS, a large IT consulting firm in Houston.
All the while, he was learning the consulting business, which evolved in 1994 into his own business. Greenwald & Company places contract programmers at companies that need temporary systems development help. Greenwald’s WSU education gave him the confidence, and the knowledge-of marketing, accounting, business law, and personnel management-to price his services competitively, treat people fairly and grow his business. Greenwald does all his own marketing, keeps his own accounting records, and writes his own contracts with his consultants and his client companies. And the contracts always pass muster with attorneys.
Some of Greenwald’s consultants have worked for him since he started, a sign that he practices good personnel management. "I believe that Wright State’s business curriculum is one the most comprehensive and best-taught in America. My education at Wright State is still paying off."
