About Richie Ortiz
As a Learning and Development professional with experience as a Manager and Principal Facilitator, I specialize in sales training, effective presentation skills, coaching, feedback, manager foundations, and customer relationships. I’ve spent the past several years driving high-impact learning programs at C.H. Robinson and Stauer, building confident presenters, successful salespeople, and strong leaders. My background includes managing L&D strategy, mentoring facilitators, creating programs used across global teams, leading DEI initiatives, and coaching individuals to elevate their communication and decision-making skills. Currently, I am a proud employee at SunOpta, leading the development and delivery of programs that support a culture of continuous learning. Outside of work, I’m a sponsored professional disc golfer, freelance opera singer, chess enthusiast, amateur videographer, husband, dog owner, and grateful father to two wonderful boys.
