Bio
Jeffrey VanderVorst
Rick was an asset to our company (IBS) while I was there. Rick is a quick learner, energetic, hardworking, and great with all people. He has impeccable work ethic and integrity. He was consistently reliable and able to comprehend and execute any task/initiative that was assigned to him. Through the initiatives that he pursued, Rick consistently displayed that he takes pride in his work and in helping others around him succeed as well. Rick will exceed all expectations as a member of anyone’s team and be an invaluable asset to any company. Jeffrey VanderVorst

I've had the pleasure of working with Rick twice during my career - once at ciber, where I reported directly to him, and again when I left ciber to return to IBS, Rick joined shortly thereafter as VP of Sales. In both instances, his consulting experience and thought leadership was invaluable in changing the way in which we approached our services and offerings. Rick brings a tireless drive to improve the overall business performance, and be true to the client. Rick is a talented leader and an asset to any organization.
