Rick Biros shares the power of networking in the food safety industry and how his organization is helping individuals communicate with their leaders. Listen in as Deborah and Rick discuss lead generation, the evolution of the food safety industry, the benefits of in-person networking and how Rick’s publishing company is changing things post-pandemic. Rick Biros has 30 years of B2B publishing experience. Early in his career, he worked on Food Processing and then Food Engineering magazines in sales and then a management role. After an E. coli outbreak in the Pacific Northwest killed four children and made national headlines, Rick recognized the gap in food industry trade journals and created a new media segment by founding Carpe Diem Communications, where he developed and launched Food Quality, the first trade magazine serving the food safety and quality market. He then developed the Food Quality Award and The Food Quality Conference & Expo as well as launched two other print magazines, Pharmaceutical Formulation & Quality and Contamination Control. Under his direction, Food Quality and Pharmaceutical Formulation & Quality received editorial excellence awards from The American Society of Business Publication Editors which included his own monthly column in Food Quality. In 2007, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. acquired Carpe Diem and Rick went to work as their Global Business Development Director for Life Sciences.   You can connect with Rick via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-biros-860bb47/   Are you a CEO dealing with change?
