Biography
Richard Tait is an entrepreneurial pioneer who lives by the mantra, “Orville Wright did not have a pilot's license.” He first honed his entrepreneurial instincts at Microsoft.
When he left Microsoft in 1997, Mr. Tait went on to make board game history. As co-founder of Cranium, Inc., he created one of the toy industry’s most cherished brands and built an award-winning corporate culture.
Richard Tait’s vision wasn’t just limited to the toy industry. Driven to bring the Cranium experience to where customers were, not just where games were sold, he become an agent for change at retail. Cranium was the first non-coffee-related product sold in Starbucks, the first game sold on Amazon.com and at Barnes and Noble, and a catalyst for a new era of consumer-driven retail strategy.
Richard Tait says, “Ever since the age of four, I’ve been creating businesses in my head. The greatest gift my parents gave me was the freedom to dream.” Today, as founder of boomboombrands, he uses his leadership, infectious enthusiasm, and global insight to inspire business leaders and entrepreneurs. A Peter Pan at heart, he still believes in the explosive power that comes from the freedom to dream.
