Richard Friedman is a seasoned technology executive and founder with over a decade of experience building and scaling consumer and enterprise software, now serving as CTO at Noom after leading engineering and operations at The Meet Group. He combines startup grit—co-founding RedLine13 and Ringside Networks—with enterprise pedigree from roles at Red Hat, HP, and JP Morgan Chase, consistently delivering large-scale, real-time systems and mobile platforms. Known for defining clear architecture roadmaps and driving cross-functional teams, he has a track record of cutting costs (50% data center OPEX reduction), launching real-time recommendation and chat systems, and accelerating mobile release cadence. Richard blends hands-on technical leadership with strategic product and go-to-market thinking, and often steps in as interim CTO or principal architect to stabilize and scale organizations. Based in Greater Philadelphia, he pairs practical engineering discipline with a knack for turning complex middleware and distributed systems challenges into market-ready products.
