Rick Nucci

Rick Nucci is co-founder and CEO of Guru, the Philadelphia-based knowledge platform that delivers verified answers inside workflows like Slack and browsers. Before Guru he founded Boomi, the early cloud iPaaS later acquired by Dell, where he stayed on as general manager.

Boomi and the first big bet on cloud integration

Guru's author bio says Nucci founded Boomi as an early cloud integration platform-as-a-service, then ran the business after Dell's 2010 acquisition. That experience with enterprise software distribution and category creation shapes how he talks about building destination-light knowledge products.

Guru as knowledge in the workflow

With Mitchell Stewart he founded Guru in Philadelphia around the idea that knowledge should find employees where they work. As CEO he raised through Series C (including Accel) and steered the product into AI answers and agentic knowledge workflows built on verified company cards rather than raw document search alone.
