Richard Wainwright
I help organisations put technology at the heart of their transformation, as a Distinguished Strategic Advisor at Okta and as a non-executive director guiding boards through technology-led change.
At Okta, I serve as a trusted adviser to strategic enterprise clients, critical business partners, and regional leadership. I work with CISOs, CIOs and Chief Architects to connect identity strategy to their most pressing initiatives: Zero Trust, cloud migration, workforce modernisation, and digital trust. My role sits at the intersection of technology and business outcomes: shaping how organisations think about modern identity, de-risking transformation and turning platform capability into executive-level vision and actionable roadmaps.
Alongside my work at Okta, I serve as a non-executive director and board adviser, bringing a practical, technology-informed perspective to governance, growth strategy and operational efficiency. My NED experience spans property operations, digital services and, earlier, local government, all united by a common thread of using technology to drive measurable business improvement.
