Currently working as a Senior Vice President for a global investment management company. Responsible for the technology supporting the sales, marketing and product business. With nearly 40 years working in Information Technology and over 35 of those years in leadership positions across diverse industries and geographies; Richard has a vast experience in the opportunities and challenges of leadership. His passion has been helping people be the best they can be. He is a firm believer in the philosophy of having the right people in the right roles with leadership coaching and support results, and in passionate team members and delighted customer's. Through most of his early years as a leader, he searched far and wide for leadership development tools and techniques. He read many books, attended training classes, connected with senior leaders as mentors, but unfortunately none truly gave him what he was looking for. He felt that he was always practicing what others did and emulating their approaches to leadership instead of developing his own style and leveraging his unique strengths. When his children attended Hyde School, which focuses on Character First in education and has a well-developed and successful process as a parent, he too was required to engage in the program. THIS was what he had been looking for! Working on the Ten Priorities as a parent, he soon recognized the positive impact the program had on his life and his family, but even more, he recognized the value that the Ten Priorities would provide to leaders. Based upon this experience, he continued his personal growth working on the Ten Priorities and also developing this program for others benefit. Since then he has facilitated many Ten Priorities Workshops around the world, provided Personal Coaching to many individuals and all with tremendous success.
