Marxent CEO and leadership

Prior to founding Marxent Labs, Barry Besecker spent the first 10 years of his career building software and architecting web platforms for major brands such as Pfizer and Miller Coors. He previously served as a VP at an Ohio-based software development firm, leading their digital marketing practice.

Rick is the CFO of Marxent, a technology-based 3D design and visualization company aimed at simplifying the consumer buying experience. Current responsibilities include finance, HR, pricing, operations, investor relations, and fundraising. During Rick’s tenure, Marxent has raised just under $19MM of venture capital and grown from three employees to almost 70 today.

From an early age, Rick was immersed in retail and consumer marketing. Watching his father operate a chain of department stores sparked his ongoing fascination with business, numbers, and operations. These early experiences led him to a finance career spanning roles in technology, retail, marketing, and CPG. He has led teams in FP&A, Sales Finance and New Business Development. Startups and business valuation continue to be a recurring theme throughout his career.
