Peter Ricciardi

“I'm the worst at taking the time to write recommendations - about anyone or any service - but this one is YEARS past due. Peter Ricciardi and I initially met when he was president of the North Charleston Lowgators, a member of the inaugural NBA Development League, and I was Director of Player Development at the league office in NYC. We reconnected after I left the NBA to start Hilliard Solutions. From Day 1, Peter has taught me everything I know about start-ups, helped to establish our brand, and been an expert advisor, guide, mentor, and friend. Additionally, he's connected me with great people and resources, including Don Kassing, who our team simply could not function without. Peter understands my unique background, the sports industry, my passions and constantly pushes me out of my comfort zone to pursue relevant opportunities that can achieve our business goals. I'm extremely grateful for our relationship, value his expertise, and highly recommend him.”

“At some point in your career, it’s easy to believe you’ve topped off your most important relationships, the heavy weights if you will, or so I thought. I was introduced to Pete in the midst of my third digital health startup. No, I’m not into punishment, but here I am knocking on the door of the rapidly evolving healthcare space again, delivering a game changing solution to a very complex problem. This time however, thanks to Pete’s innovative process, we are launching with a freshly crafted strategic framework for our new company, including the corporate branding program, a uniquely branded digital product suite, website content, media announcements and more. Working with Pete is invigorating as he moves quickly and with a great sense of humor. His approach accelerated us to the finished product and well under budget. Pete provides thoughtful strategic guidance throughout the process. Also, his unique and disciplined approach was quite effective when solving the multiple challenges we confronted while taking an innovative product to market. Most importantly, Pete is a consummate professional with deep and relevant experience. His intellectual capacity ignites his industry reach and range to solve intricate business problems. I’m really proud to call Pete my friend and solid business advisor. I have no doubt your business can derive great value from working with Pete, as well.”
