Richard Barnett serves as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Fusion Risk Management, where he leads global marketing strategy, go-to-market execution, and brand positioning across the Fusion platform. He is responsible for driving pipeline growth, strengthening category leadership in operational resilience, and aligning marketing with sales and product to deliver measurable business impact.  

With extensive experience building and scaling enterprise B2B and SaaS marketing organizations, Richard brings deep expertise across demand generation, product marketing, category positioning, and revenue-focused marketing operations. He is known for a disciplined, data-driven approach to growth, with a strong focus on value-based and outcomes-driven selling—helping customers clearly connect Fusion’s capabilities to executive priorities, risk reduction, and operational readiness.  

Prior to joining Fusion, Richard held senior marketing and go-to-market leadership roles at globally recognized organizations including Supplyframe (a Siemens business), E2open, GT Nexus, and Microsoft. Across these roles, he partnered closely with executive teams to scale enterprise go-to-market motions, modernize marketing operations, and support sustained growth across complex, global markets. 

“Fusion is uniquely positioned to help organizations move from fragmented resilience planning to connected, data-driven execution. I’m excited to elevate Fusion’s category leadership, sharpen our go-to-market strategy, and clearly articulate the outcomes we help customers achieve as they navigate increasingly complex risk environments.”  

Richard holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in international policy studies from Stanford University. He and his wife are based in Austin, Texas.
