“Rich was my manager for several years at IBM. He led our global team of SAP partnership leaders and business development executives. Rich is a very effective sales and alliances leader as he can skillfully manage the full lifecycle of a strategic alliance from offering development through field enablement and sales execution. I admire Rich’s ability to understand and craft the technical aspects of a technology partnership and skillfully manage relationships across two complex organizations. Rich is a great people manager and is a pleasure work for. He motivates his team by developing personal and trusting relationships with his direct reports and stakeholders.”

After an enjoyable and incredibly fulfilling 46 year career in tech, especially the last 10 ½ years at Adobe, I am embarking on a new course into retirement as of February 28, 2025. It’s hard to imagine the number of people who have had an influence on me, but please know that I appreciate all your help along the way. Thank you all for your friendship, partnership and support.
