Testimonials

"Rick Morrow is the most talented, complete operations executive that I’ve encountered. Rick has a gift, an innate ability to engage with an organization, quickly determine where real opportunities lie, and create not only high-level strategies but incredibly astute, precise operational plans to exploit those opportunities. His gift produces clarity, scale and efficiencies for the organization."

Gregg Fellows, Founder and Managing Partner of AGSI, a PE consulting resource who has worked with over 300 private companies.

"Rick reminds me of the best people we worked with, and rates higher than any of them. His insights are keen, but more impressive is how he can use them to create real improvement in performance and value. This is the kind of follow through few consultants even try to offer, preferring to lay down a pattern and leave the execution to others. Rick cares most about results, and that is something anyone running a business can appreciate…"

Nader Darehshori, Former CEO of Houghton Mifflin Publishing Company

"Rick’s influence has been invaluable. He is a powerful and pragmatic strategist. Rick's analytical insights, positivism, and penchant for ideas that free growth can unwind the most complex (and sometimes unappetizing) issues into bite-sized pieces. The result is a clear path for success and the ability to enjoy some pretty sweet victories along the way.

Rick's success lies in his ability to listen intently and with intuition. He converts that intuition into actionable plans prioritized for maximum impact and tangible measurement. Rick's ability to execute with a boundless enthusiasm and genuine collaboration is the intangible part that makes work so much damn fun.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with him."

Tom Radigan, Chief Customer Officer, Kastle Systems International
