“I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Rick Greenberg for 4 years. Rick came to our company as CEO at a time of great transition…
In short order we started to develop a very robust business online, and with national retailers. Rick is a thoughtful leader, who sees the big picture, sets reachable goals, and lets you figure out how to achieve them. He is always available to help and not afraid to get his hands dirty.
He is also collaborative, and truly seeks out and values his employee`s opinions and points of view. Because of this our team was always on the same page when it came to setting goals and how to achieve them.
Our industry, like many others, has changed dramatically these past few years. It is important to have a leader that recognizes and acknowledges this and is flexible when it comes to building a business.
Rick Greenberg is this and much more. Any company will be fortunate to have his leadership and I recommend Rick without hesitation.”

“Some experts have likened business to a battle ground of sorts. It is certainly that, or at least a serious contact sport with plenty of bumps, bruises and breaks.
In that context, Rick Greenberg is a battle tested veteran. He is just the kind of leader you want to have leading the troops when the going gets tough. His depth and breadth of experience inspires confidence. This guy knows his stuff….
From sourcing to the shelf… from product development to marketing and branding. Rick owns it all! As they say in the military… “he has earned his stripes”.
Beyond knowledge, Rick’s calm, yet firm demeanor delivers a supportive yet “no nonsense” management style.
I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Rick for more years than I can count. I look forward to more opportunities to doing so again in the future.”

“Rick and I have worked together on a series of projects over many years, and I hope there are yet more projects ahead of us. Most recently, Rick and I and our team worked together to bring a product to market, from a complete brand overhaul through packaging and marketing, with the vast array of associated details such a large venture brings. It was a rewarding and educational experience, and I learned much from Rick.
Rick is a hands-on leader who values being actively involved in projects. With extensive experience in his area of expertise, Rick brings a wealth of knowledge, insight, and industry history that greatly benefits an organization and its workers. He is continually open to new ideas and enthusiastically embraces innovation. His creative thinking and problem-solving skills are exceptional, leading to highly effective solutions. His leadership style drives success as it inspires and motivates those around him.”

“Meticulous, professional, and motivated are three words to describe Rick.
As Interim COO for United Premium Foods, Rick hired me to assist in a turnaround situation, overseeing a company that had been purchased out of bankruptcy and installing practices and procedures to ensure the fiscal health of the new entity. When I arrived, the production departments were being managed in a haphazard manner with effort being thrown at the newest crisis.
At his direction, one of my first tasks was to implement a system to cultivate an environment of consistency and repetition, allowing predictability in our raw material and cash flow needs.
He then focused on profitability of each customer to ensure our sales basis was sound, and finally onto selection, configuration and implementation of an ERP system. Rick was friendly and professional with all members of the organization, making a point of greeting each employee by name.”
