Rakesh S. is a Strategy Adviser at RCK Partners. Colleagues describe them as "I am fortunate to have Rakesh as an investor in my business since 2020, and he has certainly brought much more than capital invested during this time. Rakesh’s experience and expertise as a CEO, and turnaround CEO is formidable and I’m hugely glad to have received sound advice during difficult times, and my business (and my sanity) is better for it. Rakesh balances the decisive strength of an experienced CEO with the compassion and deep respect of someone who is driven by people. I look forward to future years of working together and being able to rely on his valuable expertise!" and "I am very privileged to know and have worked with Rakesh Sharma for 5 years; he is an inspirational, big picture/strategic Leader and I am very fortunate to have him as my advisor and mentor regarding business and all matters related to the Global Defence sector. His business, competitor, market knowledge within Global Defence is exceptional and he is regarded by my senior executive networks and Industry as highly credible and influential within this space. Rakesh is a well respected Business Leader, but what also sets him apart is his passion and dedication to People, Diversity & Culture within the organisations he leads as CEO and Chair. I have witnessed Rakesh many times in the Boardroom and when he talks, challenges…… people do listen, he is extremely captivating due to his wealth of knowledge and business and finance acumen. He is a true gentleman, sincere and one of the kindest people I know, always willing to offer guidance and support at a moment’s notice. I also greatly admire Rakesh’s honesty; he isn’t afraid to provide constructive feedback to ensure everyone keeps moving forward and achieves success."
