“As an early stage start-up, it can’t be overstated how valuable it is to have the support of technology leaders who can also provide profound perspective on the deep human aspects of your product, company and market. That is Rick. As he advises me on both technical, management and even personal matters, I expect and enjoy a process of applying his decades of experience and thirst for actually understanding.”
Brandon Litman | CEO - Kindly
“I had the privilege of working with Rick as my manager and then as my peer. Rick is a very thoughtful executive, with high EQ and personable traits. At Carta, he led with inquiry and curiosity to learn new domains and seek to understand the context by leaning in to those domain experts to help. For areas that he was deeply familiar with, he was keen to make strategic improvements. His teams loved to work for him, and had strongly supported his vision for change. Rick generously spent time growing his team members. For me particularly, he has given me many insights and encouragement through my challenges. He’s a great person to work with and an inspiring leader.”
