Bio
Pamela E. Evans
I had the pleasure of working with Rich when he joined our Global Experience Center Team as a Sales Professional. Rich was the consummate professional! He had a fantastic work ethic, was sharp, personable and related well to people at all levels of the organization Our customers and partners admired Rich's ability to make technology solutions relevant to them and to their business and IT needs. Rich had an amazing way of storytelling that captured the interest of his audience and he did it in an authentic way. If you are seeking a loyal team member who can effectively convey business value and influence a customer's buying decision, he's the one! I would highly recommend Rich as a technology evangelist!

Rich is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of video conferencing technologies. He was my "go to" person on our existing environment and how to integrate new technologies into our environment. In addition, Rich is highly customer focused and always represented the department with the highest professional standard. He has a knack for simplifying complex technologies and making them easy to use and to understand.

Richard was hired by and directly reported to me for over 4 years, during that time he had responsibility for the audio/visual component of the global environment for CIT including interfacing with senior management and supplying international support. Richard was outstanding in terms of technology understanding and implementation as well as extraodrinary customer service qualities. Consistent business management praise for his support and managment of that environment provided support for his technical as well as interpersonal skills. I highly recommend Rich for his skills and work ethic
