Bio
Maria-Sabrina Anastasiu
Ricky is an amazing blend of creativity, analytics and problem solving. He draws on his experience at Uber to inspire new strategies and rapidly and decisively brings new ideas to fruition. Ricky quickly understands the parameters of a problem and comes up with the ideal solution in no time. He also looks at the long term development in the business numbers, and is able to form future strategies based on past patterns. He is a joy to interact with, he always saves the day and is an invaluable team member! Ricky built Uber in Zurich and Basel, is the driving force behind the logistics of our operations, and continues enriching the team with his great ideas, input and support every day. I’m lucky to be able to work with an exceptionally intelligent and kind person such as Ricky.

Frederic and I have worked together in a team of two, three and now six people, launching Uber in Zurich and Basel and bringing a whole new concept to Switzerland. We act intuitively and blindly understand each other. Ricky is a fantastic team player. He's always thinking about the whole team and business and tries to help everyone out. He sees the big picture and is ready to help out in other areas if needed. Ricky is always thinking one step ahead and trying to push harder to increase Uber's speed of growth. He believes in Uber and our mission and vision 100% and is constantly working towards it. Additionally, Ricky never just makes a guess. He's always making statements and decisions based on data. He knows how to use data for future plans and decisions and easily sees the influence the different KPIs have on each other. He understands how everything is connected and uses this to our advantage. It is an absolute pleasure to be working with him and I would launch a new Uber city or a new start up with him without even hesitating for a second!
