About Rick Kaye

Dynamic Sales Leader collaborating with customers for over sixteen years selling Enterprise and Cloud solutions. I have a strong passion for technology and how we transform data. Digital Transformation is here and let me be your guide.(Hard Work | Will | Sincerity) I always strive to work hard, have the will to succeed and be sincere in my approach. I truly believe if you put your heart and soul into everything you do personally and professionally, success will find you. The more success you have, the “luckier” you become. Playing basketball at an early age, working in a team atmosphere while pushing myself to compete daily, has shaped my professional career. That mentality continues to be my daily personal and professional goal, collaborating and competing in a successful team atmosphere. In my current sales position at Microsoft, I am currently leading and empowering the way organizations digitally transform their business. Customers are looking at ways to deliver solutions that increase Collaboration, Productivity and become more Secure. It’s my passion to help customers realize the power of Microsoft Technology.
