Richard co-founded ELIAS and leads the practice. A Cambridge law graduate with a thirty-year career in senior management across marketing services, digital media, not-for-profit and healthcare, he pairs commercial instinct with deep data-protection expertise. An experienced Data Protection Officer, he brings nine years of board-level governance, having served as Deputy Chairman, Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Finance and Performance Committee of a large NHS Foundation Trust. He is a former Fellow of the Institute of Data and Marketing, a Certified Loyalty Marketing Professional and a founding Regent of the Loyalty Academy. Richard’s conviction runs through everything ELIAS does: that compliance, done well, is not a cost but a company’s most valuable asset.
