Bio
Christoforos (Chris) Nikitas
Rick is quite a unique individual and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is an extremely trustworthy professional, with the highest sense of respect, integrity and transparency. As a true Servant Leader, Rick is a dreamer and will also go the extra miles to serve, making his priority the team and the collective goal. Rick is exceptional at listening and understanding, genuine and very empathetic, thus creating a very safe environment around him; traits which are reflected in his approach to coaching. Rick has accumulated over the years multi-dimensional experiences both from hands-on technical and business roles, as well as through formal education and training. As such, Rick is able to offer invaluable advice and also take the necessary steps to ensure quality is always delivered. Rick's passion for continuous learning and improvement remains sky high and can only be described as inspiring and contagious. It has been a great privilege working with Rick and I can't recommend him highly enough.
