Dr. Ty Richardson
Speaker, Author & Coach.
Dr. Ty Richardson, a Trinidadian-American, left a corporate career with a Fortune 500 Multinational Corporation after 14+ years to launch a start-up in Silicon Valley. After an unsuccessful attempt at building a social network, YoPro Global, Dr. Ty pivoted the organization to a social enterprise which later gained a global appeal and supports the advancement of youth and young professionals, as they prepare for, and enter the workforce. Dr. Ty also heads a global financial consultancy, One Global Index Consulting Inc., providing access to finance for organizations worldwide, based in the United States. The focus of this organization, like YoPro, is the advancement of Emerging Markets in the Developing World.
Dr. Ty uses his top five Gallup strengths: Significance, Activator, Arranger, Command and Maximizer, to bring together, and lead high performing teams and high impact projects towards a successful end. While Dr. Ty is a certified Gallup Strengths-based coach, his focus is on spreading the value of strengths-based coaching, and the expertise of his teams, to make a greater impact worldwide. Dr. Ty works one-on-one with high-performing clients, as well as larger groups and audiences, to demonstrate the power of performance when starting from a place of strengths.
At One Global Index Consulting and it’s US-based partner One Global Business Financing, clients can access a wide range of financing solutions for their business, from invoice advance payments, to fix and flip loans, SBA loans with an SBA preferred lender, and business lines of credit to name a few. OGIC and OGBF can provide access to capital from $50K to $1B and above. In 2022, OGBF was approved as a direct funder for commercial loans in the United States, allowing the organization to underwrite and fund loans for real estate investors across multiple products.
On the back of the pandemic, and with it almost in the rearview mirror, Dr. Ty embarked on 2021 with renewed purpose. Reinvigorated to help solopreneurs, entrepreneurs and business seeking to pivot, Dr. Ty launched a new agency focused on aiding in brand and profile building, and community engagement for individuals and organizations. This agency provides strategies, coaching, PR and marketing services with an emphasis on guaranteed PR, experiential events and high-valued connections. This was eventually incorporated into Dr. Ty's coaching venture. Dr. Ty also launched a custom program to coach individuals seeking to leverage his experience in living in six cities around the world, and become, or scale as a local influencer in their community.
In 2022, continuing in an upward trajectory and with a goal of creating a bigger impact and serving more entrepreneurs, Dr. Ty partnered with The Business Advisory as a Business Strategist, serving clients with global business strategy in scaling their businesses from six figures to nine. With three six-figure companies and a seven-figure company "under his belt", Dr. Ty is able to provide companies from diverse industries and entrepreneurs from different countries, with business strategy to achieve their goals and objectives. Dr. Ty later became the VP of Coaching, Consulting & Business Solutions which included oversight of the Client Services Delivery team and processes for Consulting, Coaching and Business Solutions, as well as Event Experiences for the brand.
In October 2023, together with two business partners and graduates of the Trident fellowship on entrepreneurship, Dr. Ty was awarded $50K and used it to establish a company that serves to disrupt the coaching industry. This company is called Pinnacle & Beyond Enterprises.
