From Boardrooms to Ballrooms

A Toastmaster with extensive experience living and working in six countries (and three languages), Rico delivers engaging keynotes that blend cultural fluency and leadership insight, tailored to your organization's needs. Beyond “popular topics” and “canned talks,” Rico begins every engagement with a clear understanding of your audience’s unique challenges and aspirations, then prepares the most effective content for your event.

He enjoys preparing meticulously tailored narratives that resonate, entertain, educate, and inspire action.

Multilingual MC

Instead of just reading a script, Rico provides Run-of-Show Optimization, ensuring that your event flows seamlessly across languages, engaging the entire room—not just the English speakers. He works best with Event Planners and HR Directors organizing high-stakes conferences or internal DEIB training. However, his group facilitation and focus group moderation experience comes handy when working on events run by a committee.
