C-Speak: The Language of Executives
Rick Faulk, CEO, Locus Robotics
Massachusetts, says Locus Robotics CEO Rick Faulk in this episode of C-Speak, has “lots of robots looking for a problem as opposed to a problem looking for a robot.” That’s because numerous companies lose sight of two things: adhering to their core mission and catering to their clients’ specific needs, according to Faulk.
Faulk points to targeted growth as an integral element in Locus Robotics’ evolution from a third-party logistics business to a two-time Boston Business Journal Fast 50 company mulling an IPO. Initiatives such as hiring “folks smarter than” senior management and carefully selecting workers who fit into the company’s culture of being “maniacally focused” on the success of the client are also integral to that evolution, says Faulk.
Faulk speaks with C-Speak podcast hosts Jon Bernstein of PNC Bank and Carolyn Jones of the Boston Business Journal about providing tools for clients that turn them into “heroes,” his excitement about incorporating AI and analytics into operations at the company, and its investment in various community initiatives through the Locus Foundation.
