Richard Kachelriess

Richard is an experienced marketer with more than 12 years of product marketing experience for desktop, enterprise, and SaaS software and technology, including data, imagery, and open source solutions. I am passionate about understanding markets and technologies and developing marketing campaigns for all parts of people's journey with a product from its launch to its retirement.

The majority of my career was at Esri’s Product Marketing department where I have marketed a wide variety of products, including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Content, and their open source and open data solutions. I was a feature speaker at the 2016 Esri Public Sector CIO Summit with the presentation Redefining Open Data. I was the developer of the open source Esri Geoportal Server LiveDVD Demo, that allowed people to try out the Esri Geoportal Server in a self-contained Linux operating system. I was also a two-term President of Esri's Toastmasters club.

My experience also includes the United States Geological Survey (USGS), where I researched water quality in the Florida Everglades, and EagleView, where I was the Product Marketing Manager for their core Imagery products and solutions.
