Hello

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, Redgate, Business of Software.

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 twenty years:

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 and participated in the inaugural RBS Climate Accelerator. In 2021 I joined Carbon13‘s second cohort where I co-founded Aloft Shipping, which I later left. I then worked at Carbon13 as Head of People until January 2024.

In 2024 I took an extended sabbatical during which I completed Project Tipping Point, AirMiners Boot Up, (re)Biz, and Regenerative Foundations. I have launched Radical and Untangled and am currently developing these ideas in Melanie Rieback’s PGE Incubator.
