Richard Lewis

I am a senior technical leader with a "Product-first" mindset and over 20 years of experience scaling innovation in AI, communications, and payments. Currently, as Director of Engineering (Digital and AI Products) at Element Materials Technology, I specialize in building product & engineering cultures that are deeply aligned with product strategy and commercial outcomes. My journey includes pivotal product leadership roles, such as VP of Product at Element Creations (element.io) and Co-founder & CPTO of Onedox, where I mastered the art of translating technical complexity into market-ready solutions. I pride myself on being the bridge between the server room and the boardroom, ensuring that every architectural decision drives genuine customer value. Outside the office, I am a lifelong maker and "tech fanatic," usually found in my workshop building IoT systems, architecting home automation, or restoring custom motorbikes.
