About RLK Consulting, LLC
A market too big to ignore.
Greater Richmond is home to a thriving mid-market economy - hundreds of mid-sized companies spanning technology, hospitality, manufacturing, logistics, insurance, and more, alongside 8 Fortune 500 headquarters.
​
A gap that slows growth.
Nationally, only 22% of mid-sized companies have a dedicated strategy leader or function. Even more telling, 64% of mid-sized business leaders report low confidence in their own strategic planning process. The result: delayed decisions, missed growth windows, and difficulty aligning teams on what matters most.
Where RLK fits in.
RLK Consulting exists to close this gap - delivering Fortune 50–caliber insights with the speed, access, and practicality mid-sized companies need. RLK brings the strategic muscle to help these leaders make confident, high-impact decisions and execute them.
