Piers John Richardson brings extensive experience delivering technology and transformation initiatives across financial services, fintech, and other regulated, technology-led environments.
His career has been focused on organisations where technology is business-critical, operating at scale, under regulatory scrutiny, and with a strong emphasis on availability, security, and operational resilience.
Deep experience supporting financial services and payment platforms, including environments where system stability, data integrity, and regulatory compliance are paramount. This has involved working on complex, high-availability services, security- and identity-sensitive systems, and large-scale platform modernisation initiatives.
Hands-on experience in fintech organisations combining rapid product evolution with enterprise-grade controls. This includes supporting growing digital platforms, scaling infrastructure safely, and balancing innovation with regulatory, operational, and risk considerations.
Significant experience operating within heavily regulated environments subject to audit, compliance, and governance requirements. Comfortable delivering change where service disruption carries material business impact and where technical decisions have legal, financial, and reputational implications.
Extensive work with organisations where technology underpins core business capability, including platform-based and data-driven services. Experience spans cloud, hybrid, and on-premise estates, with engagement at both strategic and hands-on delivery levels.
Proven experience working within large, complex organisations, collaborating across executive leadership, product, engineering, operations, risk, and compliance teams. Known for effectively bridging business objectives and technical execution in multi-team, multi-stakeholder environments.
