Howdy 👋 — I’m Richard. I am an experienced product, marketing, and commercial leader with a couple decades experience of building and managing high-performing products and teams under my belt.

I’ve mostly worked in the software industry including at some world-class organisations like Automattic and Redgate.

I’ve built teams and products, negotiated partnerships and large deals, nurtured communities, and scaled revenue. Since 2019 I have been learning in-depth about climate solutions and building professional networks in the space with a view to full-time contribution. 🙌

Commercial Experience

My core strengths are strategy, communication, and networking which I’ve used effectively to craft successful product/market roadmaps, pitch and close partnership deals, and create or scale revenue streams.

The list below covers some of the companies I’ve worked with in the past ten years:

Hostgator
Hotjar
Leadfeeder
Limetrack
Oodles
Peacock Visual Arts
Pete the Copywriter
Pressable
Rackspace
Reconnect
Redgate Software
Scopus Engineering
SpinTel
The Humanitarian Centre
U-Ethical

Climate and Sustainability Work

In 2019 I began my (proper) education on climate solutions. I have skilled up my knowledge and networks in the critical areas of maritime, agriculture, impact investing, software, and most importantly, I think, climate justice, education, and empowerment.

🎙️ I interviewed thirty high-profile entrepreneurs in podcast form and participated in the inaugural RBS Climate Accelerator. In 2021 I joined Carbon 13‘s second cohort where I helped kick-start Aloft Shipping. I am now advising a few of the cohort’s startups on marketing and growth strategy.
