Richard Atkinson

Richard is the Technology Director of Nando's, where he has been credited with being one of the UK's top 50 influencers in the digitisation of customer experiences. He previously evolved JustGiving from a charity news content concept into what became the world's largest fundraising platform for good causes.

He brings his deep technological knowledge and digital transformation experience to Leeds Trinity University's vision and plans for the future of Higher Education.

In his work at Nando's and voluntary work, Richard is passionate about helping people to develop skills and create opportunities in their lives. The chance to work with a values-based educational establishment in his local community of West Yorkshire was simply irresistible.
