Richard Brady is the Founder & Executive Chairman of Mentis Talent Technologies, a Singapore‑headquartered HR EdTech company operating across EMEA and Asia-Pac. He has devoted 35 years to building high‑impact, evidence‑based approaches to talent evaluation, insight, and learning. Richard established Mentis in 2003 with a simple premise: organizations thrive when they nurture talent, not just measure it. Today, that ethos is embodied in the Mentis Navigator ecosystem: OCEANS Personality Navigator, Competency Navigator 90/180/360-degree feedback, SONAR Network Centrality, and the BRAVO Social‑Emotional Compass, providing a coherent, data‑rich pathway from insight to action.
Richard’s client work spans the public and private sectors across the GCC and ASEAN. He has designed and led multi‑method leadership programs, combining competency‑based interviews, multi‑source feedback, business simulations, and Hogan personality & reasoning assessment. Mentis programs emphasize measurable business outcomes, capability uplift, and the creation of collaborative learning cohorts supported by mentoring and feedback. Mentis has supported hundreds of multinational companies, NGOs, and regional entities in the GCC with talent evaluation and development programs.
Richard is a trained and certified coach, Situational Leadership® certified practitioner and highly experienced coach and mentor for specialists and leadership navigating career transitions and promotions.
A Chartered Occupational Psychologist (HCPC‑registered; BPS Chartered), Richard has trained and certified thousands of practitioners in personality assessment and evidence‑based talent practices. He is Hogan‑certified (HPI, HDS, MVPI; advanced interpretation) and experienced facilitator multisource feedback. He has partnered as adjunct faculty or facilitator with leading business schools including London Business School, Oxford Saïd, IMD, and Thunderbird.
Richard’s academic work focuses on psychological flexibility (ACT/fACT) and social‑emotional learning at work. As a doctoral researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London (Institute of Management Studies), he is conducting mixed‑methods research exploring how psychological flexibility relates to quality of working life, values‑based action, and leadership development, integrating RCTs, systematic reviews (PRISMA‑aligned). These insights inform Mentis Navigator product design and coaching‑at‑scale methodologies.
Beyond assessment, Richard champions competency development as an organizational capability. He designs journeys that help leaders optimize strengths and neutralize derailers, blending focused practice, mentoring feedback, and network‑centric development through SONAR. His coaching draws on Acceptance & Commitment Training (fACT), compassion‑focused approaches, and solution‑focused models aligned to EMCC/ICF standards, translating science into practical behavior change.
Richard divides his time between product strategy, client advisory, and research, with a growing emphasis on thought leadership and practitioner accreditation through Mentis Academy. He is committed to building an inclusive, data‑literate coaching community across ASEAN and the GCC and to advancing prosocial, values‑based leadershi true to the Mentis promise: Nurture Talent™.
