Expert Profile
Most recently, I recently retired as the Chief Operating Officer of Ramsell Holding Corporation, appointed to the post in June 2005. Prior to joining Ramsell, I was the founder and senior partner of Wild Tiger Holding Company and ***** ***** Consulting. Serving companies from incubators to iron lungs.
I have made my career as is a perpetual problem solver, and continue to advise both start-up and established companies seeking experienced and integrated solutions in a variety o ***** . One of my ex-employees noted I have had clients from the pent house to the outhouse. I also traveled to D. C. for almost 4 years working with legislators on the Health Care bill and follow on legislation.
I have just finished a book, “THE HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA: THE UNTOLD BACKSTORY OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN, WHERE WE ARE, AND WHY HEATH CARE NEEDS MORE REFORM!”
I have spent quite a bit of time and research not just on health care but also the relationship between the economy and health care and reform implications. In my research for this book I have spent a great deal of time steeped in our current health and economic problems and identified some of the seminal issues that are not being addressed with the current solutions. These problems cast a warning not just for our health care dilemma but our overall economic wellbeing as well.
I am an active member of the Board of Directors of a number of companies ranging from health care to technology, from sanitary and wastewater to robotics.
Retired
Tom ***** served as chief operating officer of Ramsell Holding Corporation since 2005, a company comprised of four health care business entities (that coordinate the management and care of health care benefits and related services), as well a nonprofit organization, the Flowers Heritage Foundation. He also was most recently the founder of the WE Movement, a philanthropic initiative of Ramsell that offers the use of its HELP4U online software program to help connect “those that have goods, products and services,” and who wish to offer them gratis, to “those who desperately need them.” Typically, the latter includes Ramsell’s basic constituency of the uninsured, the underserved and “those most fragile among us.” These goods, products and services not only include health care, but cover other areas, too, such as housing, legal assistance, accounting services, education and youth programs.
"Tom is one of those people you go to to find out the things you don't know. An avid reader and perpetual student, he has either read about it or experienced it. And if he hasn't, he can rapidly either get you the answer or direct you to where to go to find it."

To whom it may concern:
As the President and Chief Executive Officer of RedZone Robotics, Inc., I have had the
pleasure of working with Tom ***** since 2009. Tom has served as a trusted board and
management advisor to me.
Tom served as a board member and was the most influential decision maker for
ICOMMM, Inc. , a California based SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) corporation that
RedZone acquired in 2009. Tom was instrumental in facilitating the successful
transaction close and led a fractured shareholder group and inexperienced management
team. Tom’s ability to organize and explain his ideas is exceptional. Since the
acquisition, Tom’s guidance and input and has always been spot on.
Tom is a critical thinker and leader. He gets to the point of a matter quickly with
decisive and crystal clear thinking. Tom is well connected throughout government and
industry. He complements his strong decision making capability with strong people skills
and salesmanship.
Tom enjoys my personal respect and appreciation and I highly recommend Tom *****
as a business advisor and management leader.
Please feel free to call me any time if you desire more information.
Sincerely,
Eric Close
