“My focus in North America is to enable the growth trajectory of our current and potential customers by providing their warehouse and fulfillment operations with leading edge capabilities. We have the team and track record to deliver.”

Rich has an MBA in Financial & Operations Management from the Wharton School of Business of the University of Pennsylvania and a BS in Chemical Engineering from Penn State.

He and his family reside in Franklin, Michigan on the outskirts of Detroit. He is a frequent speaker and seminar leader on topics including leadership, transformation, and business growth, including Visiting Professor and Visiting Lecturer roles at Wharton and the University of Michigan MBA programs.
