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 great secrets he learns, that career was never a viable option.
Instead, Richard 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 likes to get the most out of life; a former Team GB High & Springboard Diving athlete, a C-Level career with many big names like HSBC, Adidas, & Formula 1, an author, speaker, scuba diver, pilot, skier, open-water swimmer & keen social entrepreneur. He often says if we only have 1 life, why not try to live 3, always gaining experiences & skills, & some great stories along the way!
