Some careers take an unexpected but very logical turn.
More than ten years ago, during Michel Wouters’ time at Kiwa, Rick Wesselink was hired for his strong radio expertise, sharp mind and natural way of working with customers. Over the years, Rick became a familiar and trusted name within Kiwa and for many simply known as “Radio Rick.”
After more than a decade at Kiwa, Rick decided it was time for a new challenge. We’re proud to share that this next step brings him to the IoT Consulting Partners Group.
As of January 1st, 2026, Rick will start his journey with the IOT Consulting Partners Group as Sales Director Europe & North America.
Rick won’t be starting quietly. On day one, he will head straight to CES in Las Vegas, where he will begin his journey with our team and reconnect with the global wireless and IoT ecosystem.
What makes this moment special is the shared history. Hiring Rick again feels less like a coincidence and more like picking up a conversation that started years ago now in a different setting, with new ambitions and bigger challenges ahead.
"“After more than 10 enjoyable years at Kiwa, the time has come for a new challenge… I am proud to share that I will continue my Radio Rick journey at IoT Consulting Partners Europe B.V.”"
— In Rick’s own words:
We’re excited to have Rick on board and to start this next chapter together.
Welcome to the team, Radio Rick and good Luck at the CES 2026!
Let’s get started on January 1st, 2026.
