About Rick Meese

I dedicate myself as a consultant working with small organizations on strategy, growth, and decision-making in complex, high-pressure environments.I am a Managing Director and shareholder at Alldus, where I’m actively involved in AI and technology staffing, consulting, and enterprise delivery. Much of my work sits at the intersection of talent, execution, and risk—particularly as organizations adapt to rapid technological change.I also serve as a board member at Sandy Vans, supporting leadership with strategic oversight, commercial decision-making, and long-term value creation. Across both operating and board roles, I’m consistently brought in where judgment, clarity, and calm execution matter.A core theme in my work is decision-making under pressure. As the pace of business accelerates—driven by AI, capital, and competition—I believe the leaders who perform best are those who can remain grounded, think clearly, and act responsibly when conditions are uncertain.I also personally manage and deliver real estate development and operations in the multi-family and short term rentals in San Diego County. California.I’m interested in selective consulting, advisory, board, and public speaking opportunities.
