Richard D. Voreis is Chief Executive Officer of Consulting Collaborative, a management consulting firm specializing in the construction and building products industry.  Consulting Collaborative offers a wide array of in-depth consulting services backed by over three decades of solid experience gained from working with industry-leading companies.  Clients include architects, general contractors, subcontractors, engineers, trade associations and building product manufacturers.  He is also a consulting principal with the Greenway Group and is their strategic planning specialist.  

We are always in contact with dozens of clients, so we know what works and what doesn’t work in today’s challenging business environment.  We provide our clients with how “best of class” companies operate as well as “best practices” specific to their business and industry.  Very few people have the opportunity to see what we see on a continuing basis; thus, our clients always benefit from the newest and proven strategic advantages.

Domestic and international clients are primarily building product manufacturers or companies supporting that industry.  Their annual sales range from about $3 million to over $20 billion.

Before founding Consulting Collaborative, Mr. Voreis was Chief Operating Officer of United States Aluminum Corporation near Dallas, TX, President and CEO of Hebel Building Systems in Atlanta, Georgia and Vice President of Marketing and Sales for the Kawneer Company at its corporate office in Norcross, Georgia.

During a very successful career spanning three decades at Kawneer, he was responsible for all marketing and sales related functions as well as training, research & development and product engineering.  At Hebel Building Systems, the world leader in autoclaved, aerated concrete products, he had full operating responsibilities for North America including their new $40 million U.S. manufacturing facility.  With United States Aluminum Corporation, Richard had full responsibility for the Commercial Products Group, which has 16 operations throughout the United States and Canada.
