Dr. David Terrence Randolph is the Principal and Founder of TR Group International, an executive consulting practice based in Woodland Hills, California. He advises founders, executives, and family-led firms on the structural decisions that shape long-term enterprise value — strategy, capital, organization, and operations — and serves as a California-commissioned mobile notary for the documents that bind those decisions.
Two earned Ph.D.s and an honorary D.B.E. anchor a career that has moved across disciplines on purpose. Consulting taught him to diagnose before prescribing. Financial advisory taught him that a recommendation that does not reconcile to cash is not a recommendation. Operations taught him that the best plan in the room loses to the plan that actually moves through the building. Education taught him that counsel is a form of teaching — and that the client’s capacity to lead the next decision matters more than any single deliverable.
The practice serves a deliberately small roster — founders, family offices, mid-market operators, and the law firms and counsel supporting them — under long-running engagements where discretion, judgment, and finished work are the only deliverables that count.
