Presenter, On-Demand Disruptor, & Entertaining Visionary

About Richard:

As the child of a British ex-serviceman & an exiled Eastern European from Prague in the midst of the Cold War, Richard had the right foundation to become an international spy. However, always keen to share any great secrets he learns, that career was never a viable option.

Instead, Richard has spent 30 years being ‘parachuted in’ to countless well known international companies to rescue them from disaster, or to guarantee success of complex missions.

Richard’s C-Level career with many big names like HSBC, Adidas, & Formula 1, also led him into an interesting 2 year study & paper on work life balance, helping come up with a universal formula for effective work-life balance for everyone.

With a passion for designing great products, & technology used properly, he runs a number of ventures (which he calls adventures), such as a manufacturing company, an online business school, a technology company, and more. Richard also writes books & delivers entertaining, educating & exciting talks, designed to leave the audience in a better place.

He also features on an increasing number of podcasts & online interviews, either as himself or sometimes as his comedic alter ego, Noah Fens (the anti-hero and bafoon of the business world).

Richard's talks include:

• Make Your Business Bulletproof - The Only 3 Reasons Businesses Fail (+ How To Avoid Them)
• Compelling Products to Creating Profit in 90 days or Less
• The 7 Secrets to effectively running great teams
• What’s Grey with 4 Legs – The Hidden Cost of Ambiguity
• What would you do with a bunch of Robots?

Blending technology, business, neuroscience, and humour, Richard designs talks that are practical, entertaining, and immediately useful. He speaks on building resilient businesses, creating compelling products, running effective teams, and using technology without letting it use you.

Occasionally appearing as his comedic alter ego, Noah Fens, Richard also uses humour to challenge assumptions, expose mediocrity, and make people think—usually while laughing.

Audiences leave smarter, lighter, and better equipped to act.
