MEET THE TEAM
Shannon Giagnorio
Founder & CEO
“Previous to C.A. Richards, I spent 20+ years as a sales professional, ultimately heading up commercial departments with responsibility for overall business development across Technology and Engineering organizations. Over the years I have worked with many personalities and stakeholders with differing views on how to increase sales. In larger organizations I often experienced barriers to sales put up by various departments & colleagues usually focusing on the technical specifications or nervousness around lead times. These opinions inevitably affected how the sales & marketing department operated. C.A. Richards was born to influence communication and strategy, a fresh pair of external eyes, to assist in growth and ensure that we enjoy ourselves along the way.”
Tom Giagnorio
President
“Nearly 30 years ago, after realizing my plans of being a player in the NHL weren’t going to work out, I got my feet wet (Dad joke intended) in my offshore career as a diver. After that, I transitioned into the ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) side of the business, starting with Rentals & Service before spending over a decade as the Proposals and Sales Manager for Helix Robotics Solutions. I love leading this group of young professionals while connecting our customers with the some of the best technologies the industry has to offer.”
Kim Pribilski
Office Manager
“I have been with C.A. Richards & Associates since 1977! In my role as Office Manager, I love making transactions run smoothly for our customers.”
