Rick Desrosiers

Some careers are chosen. Others unfold. For Rick Desrosiers, business development wasn’t always the goal. It was the result of a series of decisions driven by a search for meaning and impact.

After earning his degree in Business Administration, he spent five years in analytical testing. Until the realization hit: he wasn’t fulfilled, and the days began to feel like just a job. So, he quit. No backup plan, just a gut feeling that he needed something more meaningful.

That leap of faith landed him at a small tubing and machining company. He listened to customers. He asked what they were building. He learned what mattered to them. That curiosity unlocked new conversations and new business. And Rick realized something. This wasn’t just sales. It was about building partnerships and contributing to something tangible.

Three decades later, Rick built his career around those values. He brings that same curiosity and commitment to every client interaction. What excites him most is KMM’s transformation from three small family businesses into a true Boutique CMO™. Knowing the work is difficult, technically challenging, and that KMM does it better than other suppliers, brings out Rick’s competitive nature. It also highlights what sets the company apart in the marketplace.

For Rick, success in business development isn’t about the size of the order. It’s about mutual respect, shared goals, and being “easy to do business with.” It’s about solving complex problems with people who care about doing the job right.

Outside of work, Rick is motivated by family. Watching his kids become young adults, make their own decisions, and learn they always have choices in life, work, and play.
