About Eric Richardson

I am an energetic and reliable business professional with over 20 years experience in fast paced, dynamic, professional environments in business of all sizes, and in a variety of industries and locations. →I am a skilled strategist and effective negotiator. As the Director of Planning, Logistics and HR at Bohme, a women’s clothing chain with stores in 9 states, I converted the organization from a PEO to ASO structure, cutting payroll administration costs by over 40%. I also negotiated and implemented a new healthcare insurance plan that saved the employee-portion of healthcare costs by over $2,500 annually while simultaneously decreasing corporate-share of costs by 5%. At Bohme, I also negotiated new shipping agreements that saved over 20% annually. →I am an experienced relationship builder and deal closer. As the Senior Vice President and Regional Manager at NMS Capital, a billion+ dollar investment firm based in Beverly Hills, CA, I was accountable for recruiting a team to develop the Intermountain region. In our first year, my team raised over $200 million. We also increased investment banking clients by 20%. During my 13 year career at Fidelity Investments, I led teams of 40+ licensed professionals. I also received the MVP and Shining Star awards and was ranked in the top 5% for production. →I am able to implement creative processes that contribute to the bottom line. As a Director at Bohme, I used the principles of Kaizen and lean to create a new logistical warehousing process that increased revenue take by over 13% and created an additional annual turn on inventory. I also decreased labor costs in my departments by 44% through operational efficiency. →I love to work hard, and I enjoy traveling. As a Partner at QZ Service Company, I have conducted business on four continents. I have provided project management, corporate structure, business planning, and operational support in a variety of industries, and have been able to quickly adapt to new environments.

Experience

1. CEO and Founder

   Au Company

   Jan 2022 — Present · Salt Lake City, UT, US

   Amalgamated Union Company, AU Co, through its Ghanian wholly owned subsidy AU Enex, Ltd, is licensed by the Republic of Ghana as an exporter of precious metals.Only licensed exporters can buy gold from gold miners in Ghana, and only licensed exporters can legally export gold from Ghana. Please, if someone offers to sell you Ghanaian gold and you have not verified their export license with the Ghana Minerals Commission you are being scammed. If someone is offering to sell you gold at double digit discounts you are guaranteed being scammed. You are not flying your jet over to pick up a load, and you are not bringing it home in your backpack. Smart, successful people get scammed every single day because they wade into waters they have no experience with. With over a dozen years in Africa, experience matters.
