Profile bio

About Richard W.

A highly experienced 'front end of innovation' consultant and start-up co-founder. I have strong technical and commercial understanding with a consulting skill set. I help companies rapidly validate or develop products by delivering deep insight into the enabling technology, the customer and the market. Over the course of 18 years I have done this at a product level, company level and industry level.Opportunities for innovation often reside at the interface between unmet need, enabler technology and business case. The challenge is understanding how change impacts this landscape and the evolving nature of opportunities it creates. I'm always open to informally discussing a challenge prior to any formal engagement. I have cross sector experience including FMCG, Medtech, Industrial, Micromobility and Cleantech.
