WITH A DOZEN YEARS under his belt establishing and
growing Azione Unlimited into a leading buying group in
the custom integration industry, Richard Glikes has decided
to take a reduced role with the organization. Founder,
President, and Chief Creative Offi cer Glikes announced he
is stepping away from day-to-day operations.
Glikes has assumed the role of Chairman Emeritus and
will provide strategic guidance to both Azione Unlimited
and Nationwide Marketing Group.
" In 2011, after 43 years of management positions working
for others in the electronics industry, I founded Azione
Unlimited because I saw a void in the market, " Glikes says.
" Buying groups were for electronics retailers - no

group focused on custom integrators. My goal was to
start an integrator-only group with a target of 250 dealer
members, assemble the best-in-class vendor partners with
equal status, and create the best buying group ever. My
goals have been accomplished. With a love for hobbies like
golfi ng, travel exploration and wine appreciation - I will
relish the time. "
Glikes' main responsibilities will shift into a consultancy
role, including providing strategic insights, contributing to
association success, and participating in industry events.
" Richard has been a guiding force in the consumer
electronics industry for fi ve decades, and we have benefi
ted greatly from his experience, skill and leadership over
the past two-and-a-half years, " says Tom Hickman, CEO of
Nationwide Marketing Group, which merged with Azione
Unlimited in October 2021.
To recognize Glikes' Azione Unlimited legacy and impact
on the industry, the Azione family will celebrate his career
with a " Roast of Richard " during the " Propagating Partnership "
spring member conference in Orlando, April 10-12.
