With over 25 years experience in international business expansion in the telecoms and technology space, Richard can spot and realise business opportunities from continents away. With an eye for growth potential,
Richard nurtured a business in the telecoms Customer Care & Billing space from inception until it flourished as one of the world’s largest providers of CCBS to mobile operators, augmenting the company’s revenues from £3m to £20m in just four years.
Unsurprisingly, Richard's considerable experience and successes in a range of senior positions in both IT and telecoms software companies proved an attractive proposition for Business Logic Systems, and in 2009 he joined the team as Chief Sales Officer for the EMEA region. Originally focussing on growing the company’s customer base in Africa, the Middle East, and Central & Eastern Europe, Richard has recently been asked to replicate his success in Latin America.
Since expanding his role, Richard has discovered a passion for the Tango and is currently learning Spanish, but his roots remain at Old Trafford where he was born. Naturally, he is a long time Manchester United fan (45 years!). A keen mountain biker, Richard has also started fly fishing when he has the opportunity, but as a father to six, his children tend to keep him busy outside of work.
Richard would welcome any questions on his subjects of expertise; 'the relevance of solutions like InTelestage in emerging markets' (and the latest ManU fixtures). If you come across any articles like this one, he'd be grateful if you could send him a link with your comments.
