30 Years of Sonicare, always more than a toothbrush… Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with brilliant leaders, thoughtful mentors, and world-class brands. One of those brands, Sonicare, has proven to be hugely important to my growth over two stints spanning 15 years. While working in Oral Care, I’ve been amazed by the endless opportunities and the role Philips is able to play in the evolution of the category as it becomes more integrated into societal understanding that a healthy mouth leads to a healthy body. (Note: Oral care is health care - fit mouth, fit body, healthy life.) Beyond the intrigue of the oral care category, it’s my colleagues at Philips who creatively and passionately drive our business forward that inspire me on the daily...  As my role and experiences have evolved at Philips, I’ve taken pride in collaborating with colleagues to tirelessly build a community of connectedness and inclusion. In leading the Dental Professional (B2B) Venture team and the Bothell Innovation Hub, I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve and promote the needs of our people and organization. I also want to take a moment to thank and recognize those individuals who, throughout my career, saw something in me, challenged me, and mentored me. Each of you helped to shape my outlook and approach to leadership, and my desire to build community and team. I don’t take these learnings or responsibilities lightly. Daily, I work to provide my team and others with vision, clarity, and time - time to mentor and grow our next generation of leaders. This is my true passion. In celebrating Sonicare’s 30th anniversary, I wanted to take a moment to reflect and appreciate those who have taken time to mentor me. And to recognize my current Philips Oral Healthcare colleagues who continue to inspire me, challenge me, and team up to make impact and drive change. I appreciate you to know end, so here’s to another 30 years of healthy mouths/lives, OHC community and innovation…  ~Rick Video by a talented videographer from UCSB Cooper Smith. #team #innovation #leadership #healthcare #philips #sonicare #dental #oralcare

Some good shots of you in there. You have to wear the 3MP tees more often when speaking, we could use the publicity. Talk of a forthcoming tour.
