ABOUT RICK SORRELLS
A corporate entrepreneur who understands how to scale high growth, people intensive companies. I have a demonstrated ability to develop strategies and programs to drive organic growth and to identify, acquire, and integrate companies.While growth is energizing, I have a great appreciation for how growth can quickly derail an organization. I have a personal leadership philosophy of \"Structured Flexibility\" which emphasizes a balance between rapid expansion and process to ensure sustainable growth over the long-term.MY “RENAISSANCE MAN” SKILLS: Operations, HR, IT, Accounting/Finance, Talent/Recruiting and Sales background makes me a utility player who can pinch hit where needed most. A strong ability to align cross functional groups on planning and execution within large B2B, people-intensive, service-oriented, 24x7 operations. Examples: Revenue growth from $6M to $70M+, employees, and stores across 40 states Increased Store Level Profit Margins > 25% Led from a one-product vendor into a multi-faceted, multiple product organization Implemented automated workflow technology & digitized key reporting Led HR for $2B, employee firm, enhancing skills in risk, compliance, training, talent, and HRIS Twice led IT departments. Key leader in multiple enterprise-wide implementations Keen ability for finding and developing vendors that can scale with the organization. Can attract talent and serve as a life mentor to many who consider me as one of their key influencersMY LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY: Corporate entrepreneurs think like owners while championing enterprise success. Operational excellence occurs by habit, not by happenstance. Scoreboards can help celebrate victories only when success measures are defined. The faster the growth, the more important the need for reflection. People-intensive companies develop today’s associates into tomorrow’s leaders.WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT ME: I’m fervent about principles. I can’t be outworked. I’m intensely curious. I’m a servant leader. I’m both authoritarian and human. I’m a realist and an optimist. I don’t quit.Reach me at: r••••••••@gmail.com
