Rick Hunter

Partner at Credence Global Solutions

Rick has been an entrepreneur for 34 years. From his first acquisition of a receivables management company in 1986 until 2013 when he retired from the private equity firm that monetized his investments, Rick has been an innovator in the financial services industry.

He started his career in technology, managing the integration of two Silicon Valley companies purchased by a European private equity group entering the US market to provide a broad spectrum of banking, healthcare, records and data management offerings. During his tenure, Rick ran a diverse portfolio of products and business lines, including the software development arm of a globally deployed service bureau. Which ultimately introduced him to several Northern California entrepreneurs who helped fund his ventures in financial services and related technology.

Throughout his career, Rick has focused on building and buying firms that can be strategically aligned to develop, deliver or support all aspects of receivables management, customer relationship management and transaction audit functionality to healthcare and telecommunications providers.

Mr. Hunter is responsible for fueling growth of portfolio companies through the inorganic route by evaluating and advising on follow-on acquisition strategy and targets. His innate understanding of the U.S Healthcare market especially in Emergency Medical Services is critical to the growth of the corporate portfolio in this space.
