Ron Schutz founded SMART Group Houston in 1990. This was his third start-up but definitely not his last. His desire has always been to assist business owners realize their full potential for their business. Enjoying chess in his early years, he has a natural tendency to develop strategies and see workable solutions in preparing companies for transition. To Ron, transition means moving forward from today to where you want to go in the future.
Being drawn to math in college and practical applications, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, with a nuclear engineering minor from the United States Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point). This taught him to think in a disciplined problem-solving manner.
Hungry for more knowledge, he completed his MBA from NYU in finance and marketing – one year after being licensed in the financial services industry. After 53 years of dedication to this business, he is now transitioning the business to George Abboud & Chris Bourgeois. Ron will serve as Executive Chairman until his full retirement.
