Richard Clark

VP Strategic Marketing / CMO

A trusted ICT industry leader who can seamlessly work across strategy, industry policy, technology, marketing and sales in a global setting. With a thirst for execution and outcome, I apply analytics, team working, humour and integrity, gaining the confidence of external and internal stakeholders. With the decline of ‘local for local’ product development and a 66% reduction of local design centres globally by Ericsson in the early 2000's, led, as its first Managing Director, the successful refocus to a global design centre, separately incorporated from the Australian sales and marketing organisation with over 500 staff; the largest ICT R&D centre in Australia at the time. I also acted as a board and/or executive committee member of various Ericsson JV's and VC funded start ups.
