Bio
John Green
Rick has been a member of our board for 5 years and has provided real world insights and guidance to managing our privately held mid-market company. His business improvement, operations and general management knowledge and experience has been invaluable in navigating some difficult issues that our contract manufacturing business had to address. Being a current CEO of a manufacturing company he is up to date on market and economic conditions, latest technologies and management tools and has been able to recommend best practices and solutions in numerous situations. I would highly recommend Rick for any executive leadership, board or consulting position that requires a deep understanding of business improvement and execution.
Cindy Gordon, MBA
I met Rick Wiegand when I joined Major Tool & Machine in 2008. Rick is a consummate professional and exceptional leader; full of energy and enthusiasm. During our time together, Rick was promoted to President and COO, where he became my boss’s boss. I had the opportunity to work directly with Rick on one of our company’s largest accounts. Rick always treated me with dignity and respect. Through Rick’s exceptional direction, we were able to grow our business year over year until the downturn in the economy; 2008-2009. Rick was outstanding at providing steady direction during these difficult times; always displaying support with clear and concise direction. When the economy turned around, Rick was instrumental in leading our company to consecutive record sales years. I would highly recommend Rick Wiegand for any organization that is looking to upgrade to a superb motivational leader who can accomplish operational excellence through increased employee morale.
