Background

About Richard Budel

I build strong, sustainable businesses. My expertise is commercial: business development, opportunity management and sales, and contracting/negotiations. My focus is public sector transformation, using technology to improve the services the governments deliver to the public, and protecting public value by optimising the way that public agencies work internally. I separate the achievable from the unrealistic, I capitalise on what’s available now and prepare for what’s about to come, and I define how to achieve the business strategy while ensuring the appropriate use of technology. Strong, collaborative team-building and lead-from-the-front style, successful in matrixed and geographically-dispersed teams with a focus on cultivating talent and corporate culture International experience leading business transformation enabled by new technologies and new business models Outstanding communicator and politically astute, sensitive to emotional, cultural, and linguistic differences Business strategist with focus on impacts and outcomes, not features and functions, as the measures of success
