Bio
Cindy Talladira
I have had the absolute honour of working with Richard as my Manager for the last 4 years at LHH. Where it became very obvious, he is a genuine, forward thinker and talented business and people leader. Richards concern for clients and absolute professionalism makes him stand out whether he is working 1:1 with clients or liaising with customers on project delivery. His judgement and ability to read a situation, equips him to deal with the most sensitive of business scenarios. If you are ever fortunate enough to work with Richard, you’ll be sure to know, that you have gained an honest and innovative organisational psychologist, leader and master coach who will make a lasting positive impact to your business.

Richard Branford is a person who has great skills and profound expertise in people management, career coaching and psychometric assessment. He has a very strong work ethic and unparalleled analytic and problem-solving skills. Richard leads by example and within LHH his enthusiasm and dedication to make a difference was felt both locally and globally. Richards' approach to Customer success is underpinned by always making the Customer the Hero of the Journey, ensuring the outcomes delivered can be celebrated by all parties. This approach supported the growth of the South Australia business operation. Lastly, Richard is good fun, which makes partnering very easy.
