Bio
John Perkins
I had an opportunity to work with Rick at PGi. I found him to be resilient, energetic, entrepreneurial, and smart. In addition to all of that Rick understands how to make information from data and then how to apply the information in a way that brings value to any business. Rick is an asset to any team but particularly to a team that is interested in solving business challenges using data.
