Richard Bennett's Linkedin Analytics

In my time working in IT I have grown as a Developer, a DBA, a Data Specialist, an Architect, and an Engineering Leader; for much of it concurrently. As a result, I’m well accustomed to dealing with all levels within the organisation, and enjoy the position of acting as an interface between the more business oriented and those with a strong technical focus. Moving from data to leading cross functional teams has given me the opportunity to look at the bigger picture, to tie information flows to business purpose, specialising in creating best fit Internal Data Products and Back Office Tooling using DevOps and SRE principles, and bringing practical benefits to many areas of the organisation. I thrive in environments where I can iterate rapidly, with fast feedback loops over MVP and prototyped or Proof of Concept delivery. I’ve created real time Machine Learning and Knowledge Management Systems for Contact Centers, built fraud ring detection software, bridged information gaps in 3rd party provided software, and implemented CRM systems with event driven data streams. I am excited about building technical teams, and enabling team members with diverse skill sets to grow by promoting a safe environment and core learning journeys for them to thrive and excel.
