I’m Rick Kreuser – a strategic program executive helps global companies identify, build, execute, and realize value from transformation programs. With capability across innovation, strategy, program leadership, journey and change management, and value realization, I’m uniquely positioned to help companies with full-cycle strategic transformations.

Rick’s CV

I’m proud to bring a broad background to bear on the toughest transformation challenges: I’ve had the luck to work across industries driving different transformation types across the entire enterprise, using multiple technologies:

Industries: Manufacturing / hi-tech, automotive, apparel, Colo/REIT, B2B, services, and platform. Transformation types: Strategy, growth, cost rationalization, spinoff / IPO preparation / acquisition assimilation, offshoring and outsourcing, and innovation programs, driven by technology.

Functions: Finance, Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales, Success, Support / Services, and IT

Technologies: CRM, ERP, SCM, Platforms (MSFT, SFDC), B2B, AI, RPA, Process Mining, and Program / Portfolio Management.

And in all work, I bring a balance of consultative approach – developed working multiple Big 4 consultancies for clients including Microsoft, NIKE, HPE, Cyrus 1, Chemours, VF Corporation, Lenovo, Caesar’s, Experian, St. Gobain, Avery Dennison, Columbia House, Danka, and Delaware North, and experience in industry – as an IT executive with Xerox and Delphi that uniquely combine to allow me to help build business – technology transformation programs that work.
