This decade brings along a new era for CORTAC Group. We’re starting new chapters, broadening our horizons, and embracing change in the 20’s. This evolution effects all areas of our business – strategy, solutions, team members, and beyond. We have a clear vision and are taking actionable steps toward reaching our goals – one of which is recognizing the true value of our team members. Rich Lupfer is the perfect example, as he was just promoted to VP of Business Development!
Rich has been with us for over 3 years and has since brought tremendous value to both our associates and our clients. He is a master of strategy, having made a career of intertwining different business elements to achieve an astonishing win-rate. Now, with this new promotion, he can achieve new levels of excellence – and we only expect great things from him.
