A thoughtful leader in fintech, insurtech. Honest and ethical

Richard is engaging, candid, insightful and authoritative, especially in the fields of cognitive tech and AI where he and I have worked most closely with a wide variety of Asian financial institutions. In a world where everyone seems to think they are an expert, he is a genuine thought leader, and one with that even rarer and more valuable quality - that of personal integrity.

I started my career at AIG with Rich and we have been friends ever since. He is energetic, capable, and very international (nearly fluent in Italian, French & German). At AIG, we designed new products; Rich has a knack for problem solving and sales. A nice guy, Rich is definitely a people person. Rich has proven himself to be a loyal friend.

I had the pleasure of presenting with Rich at client and industry events and saw him in front of audiences many times. On every occasion, Rich showed his expertise in fintech and AI not just as a subject matter expert, but a real practitioner. He engages his audience and overcomes their uncertainty about technology by giving practical, realistic and pragmatic insights to ensure they understand how it works and how to use it. The event circuit has become an industry in itself and it is often difficult to separate the self promoters from the experienced practitioners. Rich is the latter, who puts his audience first and delivers real insights every time. Attending Rich's presentations is always time well spent, very few speakers are so relevant or authoritative

I have had the pleasure of booking Rich for a number of conferences organised by Asia Risk. He is a great speaker on AI and fintech and really knows how to engage an audience. He has also done longer format workshops on AI in finance with great results. He's an asset to any conference and a professional on-stage and off.
