Andy Richardson

I've helped build many different businesses. I've been a technical CTO in FinTech, a commercial CTO at a large multinational, a startup founder and a venture builder.

I was a first-hire and CTO at Europe's leading GovTech venture firm and helped build a portfolio of 47 investments and exit 2 venture studio companies.

I’ve held senior technology leadership roles at some of the world’s largest technology companies.

I‘ve two successful exits from the 3 startups that I've done.

I've done 'hyper growth' at a corporate where we increased revenue by 4x over 3 years to nearly £1b.

I have high EQ and low ego. I am a lifelong learner and value kindness above all else. I'm a mix of technical, commercial and entrepreneurial.

I’ve been on all sides of the table: a founder, a ‘first hire’, an investor, a non-exec, a board observer and acquired several startups when working for the corporate side.
