A conversation with Thomas Ricko, General Manager of Amphenol Antenna Solutions in Conover, North Carolina. Tom has been with Amphenol for 24 years in many roles and has been with Antenna Solutions for three years. We talk about the challenges and rewards of transitioning the focus of his business from being one of many antenna manufacturers to a trusted design solution partner. We talk about hiring technical experts and getting out of the way. We talk about his upbringing in Northeast Pennsylvania, where he learned the value of rolling up your sleeves and working hard at a young age. We talk about his love of sports and, whether it's sports or running an antenna business, that success depends on the team's strength. And we discuss his desert island album, book, and movie. This is The Interface.
