“Rikimah was amazing to work with on the Bernie 2020 campaign. She is supportive, caring and has great mediation acumen. Rikimah is able to see into the problem and calmly knows how to handle myriad difficulties and dynamics within the workplace environment. She was always there to back me up during problematic situations and gave me great counsel and tips on how to manage my team. Rikimah is always on point and offers compatible resolutions that comply with company policy and union regulations. Her even tempered demeanor and ability to juggle many personality types and rapid fire daily issues goes a long, long way during a high stakes campaign.”

“I was very fortunate to work with Rikimah while she was consulting for Movement Voter Project, where I was the Managing Director. This woman is a force of nature – at getting things done and inspiring YOU to get things done and not allow your hang-ups to get in your way. If you’re looking for a kick-ass thought partner you seriously enjoy working with, I can strongly recommend her.” 

Regina Clemente
Managing Director, Movement Voter Project

“I’ve worked directly with Rikimah and she is a true difference maker. She’s done much of the heavy lifting in establishing as well as recommending better solutions for HR, Finance and Operations processes, systems, and policies and continues to do so. Rikimah has helped automate systems which decreased data input and increased accuracy. Rikimah continues to institute HR policies that are aligned with how organizations grow and expand. Rikimah was great to work with, she listens well and I think this is what enables her to offer and institute solutions that improve HR and Operations in particular. She’s a great team member who we all enjoyed working with and she’s a great leader as well. It’s difficult to find people who can do both of those well. Whenever people ask me if I know someone for HR and Operations in particular, my first thought, is, ‘well, if you can hire her, you should reach out to Rikimah Glymph.'”

Dana Dudley
Senior Director, CPL

“Our law firm served as counsel to two nonprofit organizations for which Rikimah served as director of operations. Rikimah had responsibility for overseeing finances, staffing and operations for these organizations, that carried out complex and politically sensitive programs with characteristic shortages of staff and resources. We worked closely with RIkimah and found her to be incredibly disciplined, well-organized, discreet and hard-working. It was a pleasure to work with her. I would recommend her highly to any organization or company.”

“Rikimah is a phenomenal manager, mentor, and leader. She’s great at coaching and developing employees individually as well as leading HR at the organizational level. Rikimah’s talents are wide spread and and also includes driving global HR strategy, developing and leading large and small trainings, creating brand new org policies or processes, and handling difficult conversations with grace, just to name a few. It was a true pleasure to both work with and be mentored by Rikimah.”

She is very diligent about conducting research and always presents us with practical solutions. Her reports are are always presented in a structured way with references to all support documents which is very helpful. Most importantly to us, Rikimah always benchmark her work against practices in other global organisations. Rikimah possesses great interpersonal skills and has a great way of keeping everyone updated on the progress of projects. She is a well rounded HR professional who will always invest the necessary time to deliver practical solution in the agreed timelines. It is always a pleasure to work with her.”

Gillian Mthandi
Senior Director, M2M-South Africa

“Drafting a new “gold standard” for campaign HR policies and adopting a collective bargaining agreement for the first ever unionized workforce of a presidential campaign are both just pieces of paper if you don’t have a top notch, highly experienced, trained professional with bold leadership skills to direct the department. Rikimah came to the Bernie 2020 campaign highly sought after for her years of experience, her integrity, and her work ethic. She hit the ground running and built one of the most innovative and successful campaign operations and human resources teams in the history of political campaigns. Employees and managers alike knew they could count on Rikimah to support and guide them in any personnel or employment challenge. Not only does she have the knowledge to properly inform often complicated decisions, she has a strong moral compass when I comes to doing the right thing for the individuals involved. It was a pleasure and an honor to have had the opportunity to work with Rikimah and she will undoubtedly be an asset to any organization she works with in the future.”
