He has had an impact on all aspects of the business. Immediately after starting at PG he led the relocation of the office. This was not only a move within Miami, but the moving of the HQ from Indianapolis to Wynwood. He has implemented process, structure, additional office expansions, new business set ups, among many other day to day activities. Richard takes the business very seriously and understands the impact we have on our PG team members, our candidates and clients. I personally enjoy working with Richard and appreciate his dedication and insights.
