Ron Prater

COO & Co-Founder


Prior to starting Bent Ear Solutions with Chris and Russ, Ron founded Corner Alliance, where he worked with consultants for 10 years and helped grow a company from scratch to over 55 full-time staff. From 2002 to 2007, he worked for a small boutique consultancy in Washington, DC, Touchstone Consulting Group, where he started and led their Public Safety Business Unit. He led that team from $500K/year to over $1M/month in revenue. Of course, Ron hasn’t done all of this alone. He likes working in teams and believes in servant leadership. In addition, to being the Chief Operating Officer of Bent Ear Solutions, Ron is also the Executive Director of Big City Emergency Management (BCEM). All of these jobs have allowed Ron to work with amazing people and to truly learn from the best and brightest.


In their words:What I love the most about Bent Ear Solutions is the response we get from clients when they see the end result of our process. I call it ‘saucer eyes.’ They see what our team has produced, their eyes get really big, and then they start to ask questions like “Can we do X? What about Y?”
