- Leading a product or platform team exploring new bets
- Seeking to align innovation work with exec strategy and measurable impact

I bring real-world experience from Deloitte’s AI innovation lab, NavVis' internal analytics & platform strategy, and startup mentoring. I usually hold these sessions in CET-friendly hours, and I encourage a short prep note ahead of time so we can dive right in.

Richard has been a fantastic mentor - each session I've come away with at least a dozen great ideas for improving my projects and for exploring new product discovery techniques. He's super quick to answer any random questions I might have during the week, and he's super friendly and easygoing on all our calls. Would highly recommend.

Richard helped me a lot to understand my wants in terms of my career. We established a dimension in which I am happy to move forward and created a clear and right plan for me! The best thing about Richard is his will to help his mentees. Our communication was relaxed and productive, I did not feel any pressure from him, only an interest in my progress and emotional state.
