Joy Doukas
It was my pleasure to report to Ric during his time with the Digital Media Team at NBCU. He was influential in establishing my roots at NBCU. Even with years of experience and depths of knowledge, he showed me that a competent leader doesn’t always equal an arrogant leader. As one of the great minds in media, he is also one of the most genuinely kind, and humble men I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside.
