Richard French embodies a unique intersection of analytical leadership, competitive performance, and creative expression that few professionals achieve. His journey from mathematics student to technology authority, GT race car driver, and author reveals a life driven by challenge and reinvention.
With more than 20 years of experience leading innovation, Richard has held senior executive roles at Oracle and Nokia and built several successful startups in Robotic Process Automation and AI. He’s led teams across five continents and built organizations from the ground up, all while championing a people-first leadership philosophy.
Richard also competed in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Series West, where he brought the same precision and resilience seen in his business ventures. Racing fuels his ongoing exploration of performance, pressure, and decision-making—insights that filter into his writing.
His non-fiction books include Daniel as a Blueprint for Navigating Ethical Dilemmas, Proverbs for Profit, The Journaling Mastery Series, and The Journaling Prompt Series. His fiction, notably Broken Magic and Restoration (The Convergence Series), blends quantum theory with fantasy to explore power, ethics, and transformation.
Now retired from corporate life, Richard lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two Boston Terriers. He enjoys outdoor living, serves on several boards, and continues to write and speak on leadership, technology, and personal growth.
