Bio
Mark Swendsen
I've worked with Rich at 3 companies, and he is in the top 1% of everything he does. As a manager of people, he works collaboratively and decisively to build great teams with a sense of purpose. As a technical resource, he is exceptionally competent and articulate and he can demo even the most complex technology with ease. As a partner to sales and the business, he is skilled in moving a customer through the buying process, he is both an excellent account tactician and a thoughtful strategist. But the greatest element that Rich brings to a business is his dedication to continuous improvement and learning. This helps his teams and the sales teams they support constantly grow. His ability to truly listen, combined with his experience in product management, allows him to route and communicate important market details back to product and engineering, and allows him to craft how sales approaches the go to market. Not only would I work with Rich again -- I plan to! Rich is a superlative asset, in the category of "the best I ever worked with," and I would recommend him unconditionally to either hire or work with!

Fort over ten years I worked with Rich as a peer in cross functional groups, in the same group and also reporting directly to him in the Solutions Architect group. Though he's one of the most tech savvy people I've ever known he also knows how to apply business and emotional intelligence to build great solutions and high performance teams of people. I definitely recommend working with Rich in any role he holds as he can focus resources and prioritize needs at all levels.
