Our Founder
Riordan Maynard is a self-made entrepreneur who started his career at 16 in the commercial property market. Alongside his partners, he built multiple successful businesses, including Touchbase, a tech services firm that grew from a £5,000 startup into a highly respected global organisation.
Under Riordanās leadership, Touchbase achieved rapid expansion and diversification, but its success was ultimately overshadowed by a dispute with a major supplier and the 2008 financial crisis which caused severe financial difficulties. These challenges led to tax-related criminal charges in the USA, a lengthy trial and a 6½ year federal prison sentence.
From the incredible highs of building successful businesses to the remarkable lows of long term captivity, Riordan has developed invaluable skills in business, leadership, resilience, and the critical power of mental strength. He has learned how to overcome adversity and live an extraordinary life, no matter the circumstances.
Today, through Mindfort, Riordan works with individuals and organisations to share these insights and help them navigate their own struggles, reach their full potential, live the life they choose and completely transform their performance.
