About Richard

I'm a versatile and entrepreneurial product positionner and brand strategist with 30 years’ international experience across brand building, product development, content creation and commercial execution.

With a background in corporate finance and strategy consulting for the Virgin Group, I’ve launched and led multiple ventures and advised others across sectors including tech, health, retail, consumer goods, private equity and business events.

I work end-to-end—from idea generation, product propositions and financial modelling to branding, team-building, and go-to-market execution. I combine strategic rigour with practical delivery, drawing on deep, hands-on experience launching products, running campaigns, producing content and managing live projects to tight deadlines and budgets.

All this makes me ideal for founders, investors or leadership teams needing a creative, resourceful partner to turn bold ideas into reality.
