Richard Aldous is a strategic leader and board director with a PhD in Economic Geology and over three decades of senior experience across government, research and resources sectors, now bringing that analytical rigor to teaching yoga. He has led large multidisciplinary organisations—most notably as CEO of CO2CRC overseeing $20M+ annual programs—and served as Deputy Secretary responsible for Victoria’s energy and earth resources policy, combining technical expertise in geology and energy with high-level policy and commercial strategy. As a consultant and director he has advised governments and industry on R&D, carbon management and technology commercialisation, and has chaired multiple research centres focused on clean power and resource development. Based in Melbourne, he pairs deep domain knowledge in carbon capture, minerals development and project delivery with facilitation and executive coaching skills, and recently translated five decades of personal practice into formal yoga instructor credentials. An unexpected thread through his career is a consistent focus on translating complex science into practical, adoptable solutions—whether commercialising agricultural research or scaling CCS demonstrations.
