I worked with Rick over a period of 12 months in my capacity as a BDM. Rick demonstrated a strategic thoughtful approach to the sales process, and was always keen to support in winning business. Ricks vision for SD-Worx solutions, and technology was always future focused and boundary pushing. Rick has also been extremely supportive of me as an individual and has been hugely influential in my career at SD Worx. Offering coaching mentoring and guidance whenever needed. I would have no hesitation in recommendation Rick in his capacity as a manager or a leader.
