Rick has been the driving force behind Anilix’s nearly 20 years of exceptional service to customers. He takes active roles in sales, marketing, and business development, with a particular focus on partnerships and key customer relationships. Rick continues to drive the Anilix vision and strategic direction.

Prior to co-founding Anilix, Rick served as a Partner of Financial Strategies Group (FSG), a management consulting firm that provides economic and quantitative analytic advice to global corporations in the communications and high-technology industries. Rick held responsibility for all aspects of sales, project management, and product development relating to these markets. His efforts were the driving force behind quadrupling the size of the company over a four-year period.

Rick graduated with honors from Cornell University with a BA and holds an MBA from Northwestern University's J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
