Publishing as Rickynomics
I am a former U.S. Army Military Intelligence Analyst and combat veteran with a background in business, real estate, finance, and organizational development. I work in English and Spanish between the United States and Colombia.
Through Institution of the Americas, I examine evidence, incentives, constraints, and practical options to help owners and organizations make decisions and carry them into action. My articles and reports document that method through research and experience in business, technology, markets, and the field.
