Before joining The CxO Group, Rick spent over 20 years in senior corporate leadership positions and as a student of Value Forward methodology. In the 1990's, Rick's professional reputation was first validated by becoming nationally recognized as a manufacturing evangelist at Textron and Intergraph Corporation.
