Martin Richards

Martin is variously a director of The Coaching & Mentoring Network, an IT project manager for a European software vendor, and father of two small children.

Teenage years misspent with soldering irons and early Sinclair computers were followed by three years at Downing College, Cambridge, supposedly doing an engineering degree, but in reality running the bar. There followed 10 years of developing complex C and C++ software across a wide variety of operating systems and platforms, before finally being tempted away by the "dark side" of the dot-com.

Now managing the international consulting team at a leading European software company, Martin has reports in three countries, which allows him plenty of opportunity to put into practice some of the ideas on distance mentoring that you'll find on this site.
