Rick Weaver is an accomplished business executive with a wealth of experience in retail,
market analysis, supply chain enhancement, project management, team building, and
process improvement.
Rick’s career began in retailing as a stock clerk, eventually becoming the Director of
Vendor Development at Kmart Corporation during its heyday. In this position he worked
with hundreds of Kmart’s suppliers to improve mutual processes, procedures, and profits.
Time and time again Rick was amazed at the untapped talent he found at all levels of each
company. He decided to focus on developing programs that would draw out the hidden
abilities within each person.

strategy. He founded MaxImpact to use his vast experience to connect individuals to
their dreams and teams connect to a shared vision.
His experiences taught him the importance of cultural recognition as the conduit through
which change and progress is made possible. In 2005 he spun-off MBC Global as the
cultural arm of Max Impact. Today MBC Global addresses more than 22 cultural distinctions
to provide the foundation of all their leadership and organizational development programs.
