Rik draws on years of business experience at C-level in sales and marketing-related functions to discuss the customer-centric strategies and change management in light of major digital disruption.
After a successful over 25-year career at C-level in global industry-leading manufacturing companies – where he was always able to outrun competition, developing new business models combining the latest technology and extreme customer centricity – Rik Vera started to travel the world to inspire companies, managers, teams, customers and audiences to develop their own Day After Tomorrow strategies.
Rik Vera has been giving over 1000 keynotes, lectures and workshops in many countries. He has been guiding and coaching hundreds of small to very large international companies and their leaders on their journey to the Day After Tomorrow.
Rik does not bring a silver bullet, nor does he pretend there is a script. He shares his experience; he shares his profound knowledge of all things that happen in the innovation scenes, but above all, he shares his passion to create business models that are future-proof.
Rik Vera knows how to create that vibrating but not hostile discomfort and how to make people smile and hungry for change.
Rik Vera will shake, rattle and roll. He will challenge the status quo. He will roast the strategy. He will demystify the hypes of the day.
