Bio:
Lorry Rifkin grew up in Chicago until he was “exiled” to Milwaukee where he raised three boys and one girl with his beautiful wife, Michele.
He has nearly 40 years of general business experience. His expertise ranges from accounting, operations, sales, and marketing as an owner and employee.
He is a generalist in approach and thought process, a critical thinker, and an agent of change. He has the vision to provide the details to for building a reality that does not yet exist, and the management skills to staff, train, and write the operating procedures for success. Then he slowly backs out of the assignment.
He tells you what you need to hear not what you want to hear.
As an introvert, he has learned the hard way, by trial and error, how to succeed in an “extrovert’s world.” With the launch of #lunchwithlorry, he is now helping others with his mentoring, branding, and networking training company.
