Richard Emanuel

Richard J M Emanuel (born 29 October 1967) is a British businessman and investor. He founded his first company DX Communications at the age of 23, which grew from a one person start-up to an organisation of over 1,000 people within a 5-year period. The company was acquired by British Telecom's subsidiary BT Cellnet in September 1999. Following this, Emanuel has gone on to build a number of successful companies.

Emanuel remains active in the technology sector, with a focus on working with high-growth companies. In March 2020 he joined the Executive Team of MARSS Group, a technology security company, and one of the fastest growing privately owned businesses in Europe. He is also the non-exec Chairman of EIP Limited, a Insurtech, supplying corporate clients with subscription insurance and claims management.

Alongside this, Emanuel also has a personal interest in the healthy ageing sector. In 2016 he co-founded Lumity, and in 2020 co-founded Brain Health Network - an organisation dedicated to helping people keep their brain healthy and lower the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's (the most common type of dementia). He has received various awards and recognition during his business career, including an MBE received from Queen Elizabeth II in 2000. He has also been a member of the Young Presidents' Organization since 2000, and is a past chairman of their Monaco chapter. Provided by Wikipedia
