Built by people committed to better local government.

Holly Richard brings a multidisciplinary background in healthcare, research, business development, and civic engagement to her role as Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Strata Civic Solutions. She earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, an education that trained her to evaluate complex information, ask the right questions, weigh evidence, and translate technical findings into clear, practical decisions.

Before founding Strata, Holly worked across the healthcare, fitness, and wellness industries, including helping launch and grow new businesses. These experiences strengthened her ability to identify unmet needs, develop solutions, build effective operations, and turn ideas into services people could use. She also worked in healthcare research, contributing to the study of emerging technologies and evidence-based approaches to solving real-world problems.

Holly’s interest in local government grew from her own civic involvement and efforts to better understand the decisions affecting her community. She saw firsthand how difficult it can be for elected and appointed officials — and the residents they serve — to find clear answers across lengthy agenda packets, budgets, meeting minutes, ordinances, and years of disconnected public records. She founded Strata to solve that problem.

As CEO, Holly leads Strata’s vision, strategy, municipal engagement, and product direction. She brings a researcher’s rigor, a clinician’s commitment to helping people, and an entrepreneur’s focus on practical solutions — working to ensure local government leaders can quickly understand the full story behind every decision and act with greater confidence, transparency, and accountability.
