In addition to his current responsibilities as Tatum's managing partner for Dallas, Schuchard now will direct the development and expansion of the company's Houston practice.

Before joining Tatum in 2010, he served as managing vice president of The Hitachi Consulting Group, where he worked closely with the CEO in the execution of strategic initiatives and acquisitions within the United States and Europe. During his time at Hitachi Consulting, Schuchard also served as the firm's first European COO and the Dallas market leader.

Prior to his position at Hitachi, Schuchard spent more than 20 years at Arthur Andersen in a variety of leadership roles, including Dallas market leader of Business Consulting and the U.S. leader for corporate business solutions. He also served as the chief information officer for the American Heart Association (AHA) where he implemented the organization's strategic technology plan and led the transformation of the AHA's use of state-of-the-art technology.

Schuchard earned a Master of Science degree in finance and a bachelor of business administration degree in Finance from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. In addition to his volunteer role as a Big Brother with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, he has also served as a board member of the YMCA and the social services non-profit, Dave's Wish.
