Few people know how to describe Employee Relations (Employee Experience) in a way that's simple and intriguing. Ricky has mastered his explanation of Employee Experience in a way that prompts curiosity. He's the leader that people want to work with because he challenges their thinking, professional mastery as an HR professional, and mentors gracefully to inspire people to push beyond what they might have thought was possible.

Anthony CobbVice President HR, Business Partner | Center of Excellence Leader

I worked with Rick at Whirlpool and he is by far one of the best HR professionals, I’ve partnered with in my career. He has a strong understanding of the business, is extremely strategic, and is an outstanding partner committed to driving results. I highly recommend Rick to any organization looking for a thought leader that can help to transform organizations.
