The world is changing and with these changes comes a new class of problems to solve. Companies run businesses that span the globe and hop between clouds, breaking down silos to create seamless applications that synergize the organization. There is a continuous state of change that organizations must manage and innovate with. Traditional architectures simply cannot meet the challenges of real time and extreme scale.

After making the switch from the restaurant industry to the distribution world in 2013, Richard worked with the new wave of Irish craft distillers breaking into the US market, Scotch whisky importers with unique bottlings, as well as US distilleries looking to capitalize on what became a global boom. In 2017 he opened his own small whisk(e)y pub in his hometown of Lowell, Massachusetts, The Keep, which boasts one of the largest and most diverse selections of whisk(e)y in the state.
