“As Executive Chairman, and with a background in high-technology business leadership, I am here to support Chris and all of our senior management team. In the time he and I have worked together we have built a great rapport and share a common view as to the direction Intellection needs to take, and the market and financial objectives it must meet, heading into 2009.”
Richard has extensive experience as Chairman and CEO of global high-technology and logistics firms, based both in Australia and overseas.
