VMP PERFORMANCE
I have worked internally and as a consultant for companies ranging from local businesses to multi-national corporations. In that time I have worked with a multitude of executives, and Rick is one of the most profound experts I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His ability to create the specific plans an organization needs to achieve their goals, whether they are operational, revenue driven, etc. is a unique talent. On top of that, Rick is able to execute these plans and achieve results quickly and efficiently.

Founder and CEO - Axel and Associates
I worked with Rick (as outside legal counsel) for many years at his prior company. Rick is a hard-driving, results-oriented person who has the ability to stay focused on the prize and filter out the noise. I really enjoyed working with Rick and wish him the absolute best in his consulting role — which I have no doubt he will excel at.​​
WILLIAM A. KUMMERER
Shareholder at Vedder Price, P.C.
I was retained by Rick as a senior human resources consultant, and had the pleasure of working with him on the private equity acquisition and integration of two similar, but very different companies. They were similar, in that both enjoyed a high quality reputation within the industry, but very different with respect to geographic and leadership cultures. Rick quickly assessed the business challenge from all aspects, and gained the confidence of all employees. He then decisively launched a well thought out integration effort to define the new culture and integrate the technical, administrative, and go to market aspects of the organization. Rick is a knowledgable, capable and results oriented leader whom I look forward to working with again.
