“I first met Rich when I joined project management. Rich is inclusive. He was one of the first members of the Pharma Partner team to approach me. Rich introduced himself, asked some questions, and offered a few lively words of encouragement. His wit and enthusiasm were immediately apparent. As a business leader, Rich uses his platform to make those around him feel seen, heard, and valued. He acknowledges the works of others and takes the time to recognize them for their accomplishments. Rich is approachable, I continue to seek his guidance and mentorship regularly. Rich was a valuable resource as I began to enter contractual discussions and author client proposals. As he helped me to navigate the initial complexities of contract/proposal process, it seemed simple, due to his insight and experience. He continues to make himself available for project conversations as well as advice on my own career strategy. Lastly, I would say that Rich has an uncanny knack for connecting with a variety of individuals and bringing them together. Throughout multiple difficult client conversations, I have observed Rich deliver hard truths with poise that not only have strengthened the business relationship, but have also opened up new avenues for growth. In summary, I feel very fortunate to have met Rich and had the opportunity to learn from this driven and energetic leader who demands quality in everything they do.”
