Summary
Richard Hall is a Head of Engineering and AI practitioner with 12+ years of experience building production-grade AI systems, from agentic workflows and RAG to computer vision and automation pipelines, across APAC, EMEA and now LATAM. He combines client-facing discovery with hands-on delivery, turning ambiguous senior-leadership problems into shippable scopes and engineering decisions that "age well." Previously he spent seven years at Google in multiple technical and product roles—winning an internal AI support chatbot innovation and rotating as a Product Manager on Google Maps—before leading engineering and technical direction in startups and agencies. As Fractional CTO at Kitly Business and an advisor to digital health founders, he prototypes AI integrations and ships production code weekly while growing embedded teams at Momentous. Trained as a mechatronics engineer with a recent diploma in sustainability, he pairs systems-thinking and cross-cultural experience (Japan, UAE, Dubai, India, Australia) with a pragmatic bias for operational resilience.
