D CEO editor, Ben Swanger, wrote that individuals included in Dallas 500 are selected after six months of extensive research. Out of the 500 profiles this year, 329 were returning faces. Richardson was one of the new faces.

Under Richardson’s guidance, Neeley has led thought leadership discussions with North Texas business leaders at such events at the Tandy Executive Speaker Series, introduced a new undergraduate experiential education program - Neeley Complete, expanded the Neeley Mentorship Program, and demonstrated academic leadership and innovation in the rapidly evolving arena of Artificial Intelligence research and classroom application.

“It’s an honor to be included in D CEO’s Dallas 500 and be recognized in such good company. Reading through the list of dynamic leaders, I saw quite a few familiar faces and friends who all carry the common goal of improving our community for the next generation,” Richardson said. “For me, that starts right here on campus with our students. I’m proud to represent Neeley, TCU, and Horned Frogs around the world.”
