Bio
Mark T. Ziebarth
Richard and I worked together in two separate information services companies, tilting at windmills and engaging in "creative disruption" long before it became a common b-school term. Intelligent, insightful and delightful to be around, Richard was able to do something few others do: he listened...; he contemplated...; and then he formulated and delivered... a smart position, a witty response, a new marketing slogan or whatever. Enter Richard's orbit for commercial or philosophical purposes, and you, too, will be better for it!

Richard is one of, if not the, most brilliant writer and editor I have met. He knows all the right questions to ask and can see the story clearly, always. Rich is open-minded, curious, and extremely creative. He can make very detailed, intricate ideas understandable and can make the mundane seem exciting. He is also a kind, caring and an all-around good person and it was one of my greatest fortunes to work for him for 8 years. I wholeheartedly recommend Richard.
