Richard Farkas is a designer of e-learning content and consults on e-learning solutions in which trainers have a central role. He is Managing Director of Power-of-Learning, which provides consulting and e-learning content creation services to training providers, government agencies and large corporations.

Richard has worked on five separate e-learning solutions for intercultural trainers since 1998, the latest of which, ArgonautOnline, is a partnership with Coghill & Beery. Richard’s career began in the HR department of Unilever. Then, having graduated as MSc (Industrial Relations and Personnel Management) from the London School of Economics, Richard worked in HR for a further four years at Manchester University and Manchester Business School. Since his short sideways step into e-learning in 1998, Richard has worked closely – though often remotely – with intercultural trainers on countless training projects for clients such as ABB, Microsoft, Nokia, Nestlé, P&O, GSK, Wartsila, and more. Richard is British and lives in Finland where he enjoys the dry climate and the dry humour.
