Founder / CEO
Ricky Robinson
Ricky is CEO of Shorthand, makers of a most excellent storytelling editor used by the likes of the BBC, the Telegraph, Refinery29, FT, Dow Jones, LinkedIn, Médecins Sans Frontières, Save the Children, WWF, Red Cross, a few major investment banks and many others. His roles as a parent of young children and an author of scientific publications means he is in the habit of speaking about himself in the third person. Sometimes Ricky sports a scruffy beard, sometimes he doesn’t. Now that he’s living in New York, he will probably find occasion to wear his rex walking hat more often. When he visits the dentist, he enters a zen-like state approaching total relaxation, which is the only reason he bothers going for a regular check-up.
