I’m Christopher Richa.

I’m based in Plano, Texas, and I’m interested in the way business, communication, and modern technology come together to improve how companies operate and grow. What interests me most is the practical side of business — understanding people, improving processes, staying organized, and finding better ways to support day-to-day operations.

At Little Gus Cafe, a family-owned restaurant operated by my uncle, I’ve worked closely with day-to-day business operations and growth initiatives. My involvement has included projects related to digital presence, customer engagement, onboarding support, process organization, and operational improvements. Working within a family business environment has given me firsthand experience with the challenges and responsibilities that come with running a local business and serving a loyal community over time.

Before that, I worked in luxury retail with Gucci and Tory Burch in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Those roles taught me a great deal about communication, professionalism, attention to detail, and building long-term client relationships. At Tory Burch, I was recognized for contributing to over $1M in annual sales performance, along with strong outreach, merchandising, and leadership contributions within the team environment.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in General Business from University of North Texas and am continuing my education through UNT’s MBA program with a focus on Strategic Management. Alongside school, I’ve continued developing practical skills in analytics, reporting, digital tools, and business technology through certifications and applied project work.

Long term, I’m interested in business operations, strategy, analytics, and organizational growth — especially in environments where strong communication, thoughtful systems, and modern tools can help teams work more effectively and make better decisions.
