Rinaldi Advisory Services LLC (“RAS”) announced a strategic alliance with Consult Disrupt, a specialized consulting firm focused on helping equipment finance organizations execute operational and technology initiatives.

This alliance expands the RAS platform by adding a dedicated execution capability that complements the firm’s established advisory model. While RAS helps clients evaluate opportunities, navigate complex challenges and shape strategic direction, Consult Disrupt extends that work by providing the hands-on resources and technical expertise required to implement those strategies, particularly across systems, processes and operational transformation initiatives.

RAS has built a strong network of alliance partners who bring deep subject matter expertise across key strategic areas of the equipment finance industry. Consult Disrupt enhances this ecosystem by adding a distinct, execution-oriented capability that helps clients move from planning to implementation with greater speed, discipline and accountability.

Founded by Jesse Johnson, Consult Disrupt works with equipment finance organizations to bridge the gap between strategy and delivery. The firm supports clients across operational and technology-driven initiatives, helping leadership teams translate business goals into actionable plans and measurable outcomes. With experience spanning requirements gathering, vendor evaluation, workflow alignment, project leadership and implementation support, Consult Disrupt provides practical, in-market execution support tailored specifically to the equipment finance industry.

Rinaldi Advisory Services, founded in 2018 by industry veteran Bob Rinaldi, provides CEOs, founders, and executives in equipment finance with trusted strategic counsel and confidential advisory support. The relationship with Consult Disrupt enhances RAS’s ability to serve clients not only in defining the right path forward, but also in ensuring that key initiatives—particularly those involving technology, operations, and process transformation—are successfully executed and fully realized.

“Many of our clients need more than strategic advice—they need experienced professionals who can help carry that strategy through to execution,” said Rinaldi, President of Rinaldi Advisory Services. “Consult Disrupt brings a highly practical, hands-on approach to operational and technology initiatives. Jesse and his team understand how to translate strategy into real-world results, which adds an important new execution layer to the RAS platform.”

Johnson added, “Consult Disrupt was built to help equipment finance organizations move from planning to execution. We are excited to align with Bob and the RAS team to support clients who need experienced resources to help implement ideas, improve operations, and navigate important technology decisions. RAS has built a trusted advisory platform in the market, and we see this relationship as an opportunity to help clients fully realize the value of that strategy through disciplined execution.”

The strategic alliance reflects a shared commitment to helping equipment finance organizations navigate change with both clear strategic direction and effective execution support. Together, RAS and Consult Disrupt will be positioned to help clients strengthen operations, evaluate technology options, support transformation initiatives and execute with greater clarity and confidence.
