He possess expertise in leadership, technical product management, r, agile project management, user experience and 23 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Rich is one of the most thoughtful and customer- driven PMs I worked with at Amazon. I worked with Rich first as a stakeholder/customer of his product, then as peers working on the same internal product for about 3 years at Amazon. Rich’s key talent is his strong product-sense. He also has a unique background as an analyst, which is a powerful combination with his strong product-sense. His ability to use those 2 skills in conjunction to make the right choice in the face of hard decisions make him an incredible PM. In addition to his product vision skills, Rich also has a passion for user experience. I learned so much from him on how to prioritize a delightful user experience even in the face of business deadlines and complex functionality. I strongly recommend Rich for any company that needs a thoughtful, customer-focused product leader who wants to take their product to the next level.", "Rich and I worked on several projects together as a part of Amazon's Transaction Risk Management Systems (TRMS). No matter how big or small the problem, Rich uses his strong analytical skills to turn ambiguous, complex problems into discrete project plans and then drive those projects to completion. Not only did Rich do this as an individual contributor but he was also able to have a larger impact on the business by successfully leading small teams. One such team was Seller Fraud Squad. As the Seller Fraud Squad Business Analyst lead, Rich was able to dive deep into complex datasets, quickly identify and solve the largest problems and then build a scalable process which allowed other business analysts to quickly identify and combat fraud on the Amazon platform. As a result of Rich's efforts, Amazon was able to save >$5MM of fraudulent bad debt and meet its yearly goal. In summary Rich is a goal driven, top notch business analyst. He is able to roll up his sleeves to understand complex datasets and then not only provide solutions but also drive those solutions to completion. I would strongly recommend Rich and look forward to working with him in the future.", and "Richard was a very detailed oriented intern for us this summer. He managed a number of projects that we had him build from scratch. These included a profit tracker for each of our 30 task orders and a tracker for FTE count across the 30 task orders. These two projects provided significant insight into a $100M contract, where and who the money was being sent by. Richard also exhibited an outstanding attitude the whole summer. He was always ready to pitch in no matter what was required for a project. Other projects he supported this summer include assisting on writing of three proposals for submission to the government, writing a monthly technical report for the Counter Underground Facilities Program, maintaining the contract Government Furnished Equipment List and developing an automated Source Selection Documentation tool. All of these projects were professionally accomplished, well written and organized and always on time or early to need. I would give Richard my highest recommendation for consideration for any job and I would hire him in the future if given the opportunity."
