“Dick Cassidy is one of the most effective leaders I have ever known. I had the privilege of watching him come into an organization and single handedly transform it in a matter of just several months from one with a culture of indifference and low morale to one that boasted a healthy culture, high morale, and unprecedented success.  Dick has that rare and special quality that inspires everyone around him from his superiors to his peers and direct reports to even those who barely know him to be better professionals and better people.  He raised everyone’s performance by encouraging us to expect more of ourselves and showing by example and with great empathy how to actually meet and exceed those expectations.  I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work for Dick and I am extremely grateful to him for showing me what true leadership looks like!”

“With almost 20 years in sales, I have never followed a more motivating leader than Dick Cassidy...He was able to come into a very tight knit, skeptical team at AngioScore, and not only sell us quickly on his competence as our new VP, but literally became our true leader due to his enthusiasm and passion. I would follow Dick anywhere in his career, as I am sure many other top professionals in our industry would!”
