Argonaut hired Robert Riccardi, former managing partner at Goodby, Sliverstein & Partners, as chief executive officer. This move reunites him with agency founders Rick Condos, Hunter Hindman, and Max Heilbron, all of whom had worked together at GS&P, running accounts including Doritos, Cheetos, Chevrolet and Cisco. "Hunter and I are proud and humbled that a talent the caliber of Robert would be willing to join us in helping to lead Argonaut into the future," said Condos. "He is not only the smartest guy we've ever worked with, he's a great friend as well." Added Riccardi: "I've been at GS&P for 23 years and it's been brilliant. Now a new management team is emerging there that is fantastic and the work over the past year is as good as it has been in a long while. So, it felt like the right time to move on to something new. I'm really excited to work with Rick, Hunter and the team at Argonaut. They are building a business and a culture that is exciting and new and I really look forward to being a part of it."
