  • Rik is a dynamic leader and brilliant marketer who truly understands how to deliver value to customers and organizations. Rik and I worked together on a high priority program, and his creativity, strategic thinking, and ability to manage challenging situations led to the team exceeding all its KPIs. Rik is a strategist, a great teammate, and his ability to consistently deliver results has made him stand out. Any organization would be lucky to have Rik leading their marketing organization.

  • "Working with Rik was a game-changer for me. I was struggling with showing up confident and authentic in interviews and often felt like I had to put on a performance rather than just be myself. Rik was incredibly helpful—he brought a thoughtful, inquisitive, and genuinely curious approach to our sessions. He asked fantastic questions that really pushed me to see things from a different perspective and helped me reconnect with my own strengths and story. Thanks to his support, I walked into my interview with a new level of confidence and clarity. I can’t recommend him enough."

    Kristy Pepple, Client Success Manager, Veriforce

  • “Rik is an excellent career coach. He is a great listener and provided the positive, supportive environment to enable me to determine the next steps to support my ongoing career journey. I highly recommend Rik for anyone who is interested in being proactive in their professional development and charting their career path.”

    Andrew Robinson, Director, Strategic Pricing at Crown Bioscience

  • Rik is an innovative marketing leader that I would recommend to take any biotechnology business to the next level in marketing and product strategy. I worked alongside Rik and later, on Rik’s team, where he created the influential multi year campaign, Because Science Can’t Wait. This drew upon the technology innovation sphere as well as the people-relationship sphere in a way that was remarkable and impactful. Rik is a blend of courageous, pragmatic, and a pleasure to work with.
