Rick Wittenbraker is a seasoned entrepreneur and business developer that has achieved success in a variety of industries, both in the US and abroad.
In early 2009, Rick founded BlueLine Strategies (www.blueline-strategies.com) to meet a very definite need in the marketplace: to help businesses grow successfully without incurring restrictive overhead. BlueLine provides strategic, marketing, and business development services and has demonstrated the ability to help clients grow in revenues and recognition despite the industry or development stage of the company.
In mid-2009, Mr. Wittenbraker also co-founded Stage One Capital (www.stage1capital.com), an early stage venture capital group formed by successful entrepreneurs in Texas and California. Stage One is focused on investments in internet, mobile, social media, software, and new technology sectors. Stage One also provides a network of successful business executives and start-up founders to help and advise, creating a successful track record of helping their portfolio companies grow and achieve results.
Prior to founding BlueLine, Mr. Wittenbraker served as the Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Sales for Patton Medical Devices, a start-up medical device company focused on innovative solutions for patients with diabetes. Before Patton, he served as an International Commodities Trader for Metelmann Trading, Inc. (a division of Neumann Gruppe GmbH) and was Assistant Vice President - International Business Development for private equity firm Crown Group, Inc.
