Richard A. Solon has more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing and operations. Hired and trained by Harry E. Figgie Jr. in 1975 Mr. Solon was enrolled in the first management training program at Figgie International, where for four years he rotated among various divisions, being exposed to almost every business discipline.

Figgie Jr. on a number of writing projects, including Building a Billion Dollar Company From Scratch and Cutting Costs: An Executive's Guide to Increased Profits.
