Richard Grove

Managing Director – Central Government

Richard is passionate about helping organisations operationally and culturally embrace and adopt data, digital and AI skills and technologies.

His experience has spanned high profile roles at the London 2012 Olympics and early Government Digital Service and he was Chief Digital Officer at the University of London. He’s also the non-exec director of several successful technology start-ups.

Before joining Pivotl, he was a director at Caution Your Blast Ltd, where he worked with clients such as the Cabinet Office, IKEA and UK Foreign Office. He developed the first public-facing Large Language Model (LLM) tooling in UK public sector history, alongside briefing the UK team at the Bletchley Declaration For AI and has given evidence on AI to the UK House of Lords.

His biggest passions are his family of two incredible children and partner, and building successful organisations where employees are proud to work.
