Kelly Richdale
Non Executive Director
I have 25 years experience in cybersecurity, operational risk management and digital innovation, focussing on the opportunities and risks of transformational technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum, cryptocurrencies, fintech, blockchain & identity management. My current board & advisory roles involve the strategic mapping of technology-driven opportunities for large companies (health insurance, banks, government and other enterprises), while simultaneously defining & monitoring the associated risks. The speed of change in technologies, and the rise in global legislations mandating direct responsibility of corporate boards for cybersecurity, mean that these competences are increasingly needed at the board level.
