Richard leads the global Food, Agriculture & Nutrition practice at FutureBridge, where he is responsible for shaping the firm’s strategic direction across regulated, capital-intensive, and behaviorally driven industries. He works with senior leadership teams and investment committees on decisions that determine where to allocate capital, how to position portfolios, and how to navigate structural shifts in demand, regulation, and technology.

His work is centered on the design and deployment of always-on intelligence systems that integrate regulatory, consumer, and technological signal detection at scale. These systems enable organizations to move from fragmented information to institutional foresight, and from reactive decision-making to anticipatory strategy across the full farm-to-fork value chain, including agricultural inputs, primary processing, manufacturing, logistics, retail, and capital markets.

Richard advises a broad range of client archetypes, including multinational corporations, private equity and investment firms, and public sector institutions. His engagements span long-term portfolio architecture, market entry and exit decisions, regulatory positioning, investment theses, and platform strategy.

He brings more than two decades of leadership in food and agriculture, having led six of the largest dedicated food and ag practices globally across investment banking, Big Four, technology, turnaround and restructuring, and strategy consulting. He has advised across more than 16 subsectors of agriculture and food, and is recognized for deep expertise in food and agriculture regulation, government relations, and system-level market design.

At FutureBridge, Richard’s mandate is to ensure clients operate with institutional intelligence advantage, building decision systems capable of sensing structural change early and acting before complexity becomes constraint.
