Richie is a serial entrepreneur who owns several businesses including Energy Alliance, the Australian College of Physical Education and Harkham Wines based in the beautiful Hunter valley.

After Richie received a life changing knee transplant from a 14 year old boy, he was inspired to give back in his honor and began the registered charity the ‘Hark Angel’ Foundation, which has already built 8 schools out of its mission to build 100 schools in developing nations all over the world. Richie’s near-death accident on his motorbike in 2014 saw him battle through eight operations, a knee transplant and a golden staph infection. But this is only the beginning, not the end of his story.

As a speaker, Richie combines his growth through adversity and success as an entrepreneur to capture an audience and inspire rapid change, disruption and the identification of purpose.

What people say about Richie

“Nova Entertainment was thrilled to have Richie Harkham deliver a tailored keynote for one of our valued agency partners as part of their recent team offsite. From the outset, Richie took the time to truly understand the brief — meeting with the team beforehand to immerse himself in their business objectives, culture, and the key theme of the day: reinvention.

What Richie delivered was not just a keynote, but a completely bespoke and thoughtfully crafted session that set the tone for the entire offsite. Through his personal story, Richie brought the theme of reinvention to life in an authentic and powerful way, reinforcing the importance for individuals and teams to evolve, adapt, and continue striving for growth. He broke this down into three simple, practical steps, making the message both inspiring and easy to apply.

Richie’s delivery was emotional, engaging, and genuinely uplifting. He created a strong connection with the room and left the team feeling energised, aligned, and motivated to take action. What truly stood out was Richie’s commitment beyond the stage — taking the time to connect with individuals after the session and ensuring his message resonated on a personal level.

We couldn’t recommend Richie more highly for any organisation looking for a keynote speaker who is impactful, authentic, and deeply invested in delivering a meaningful and memorable experience.”
