Richard is a global cybersecurity leader who understands security balanced against the demands of users and in a healthcare setting, patients. He has overseen and built a spectrum of security services including strategic consulting, cyber defence, digital identity, response and remediation services, and managed security services.

At healthAlliance he is focused on building and implementing an information security transformation strategy and programme designed to embed robust and effective governance over cyber security and risk and develop the capabilities required to effectively implement security controls. The aim is to improve visibility into the environment and know the unknown; ensure security by design from initiation, design, build and operate and excel in the basic areas of security hygiene. We communicate, educate and build awareness of cyber security risks, changing behaviours and culture as a consequence.
