Programme Counsellor and Chair of BGP Board, Client Service Dept at Cranfield School of Management
Biography
Cranfield School of Management
Richard’s first career was in Advertising during which time he worked for global agency groups across brands such as Orange, Microsoft, DHL and DaimlerChrysler in a range of Strategic and Commercial roles. However, the ever-present call of entrepreneurship eventually won-out and Richard left the industry in 2005 to ‘fly solo’.
Current activities
Today he thrives on the variety of a portfolio career encompassing ownership of a property group with divisions in land acquisition, construction, development and real estate / lettings and a consulting business providing real-world consulting and coaching to aspirational owner/managers across a variety of industry sectors.
He is currently the part-time joint CEO of a London FinTech software company (having moved over from a former Non-Exec position for an interim period) and is also currently in the process of looking to acquire another business.
Away from the ‘day-job’, Richard supports the boards of two charities and was, until the end of 2016, a Trustee Director and Chair of ECHO, a children’s heart charity closely affiliated to the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, where he worked with the CEO in leading a significant strategic repositioning of the organisation.
