Key points
- Richard Higgins and Richie Higgins refer to the same founder.
- Amy's canonical AIRAS title is Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer.
- 2021 is the start of product development, not incorporation.
- Amy's WomenTech recognition is a nomination, not a claimed award win.
Richard Higgins: product origin and accountable leadership
Richard Higgins began the work that became AIRAS Cloud in 2021. The public company biography describes experience in regulated technology, quality assurance, testing, governance and transformation. The originating problem was operational: policy existed, but the assessment, supporting evidence and accountable decision did not reliably remain connected.
Richard is the canonical public name used for the founder entity. Richie Higgins and Richard “Richie” Higgins are alternate forms of that name, not different people. Founder and Chief Executive is the current AIRAS title. Older external material may shorten it to CEO; that does not create another role or identity.
Amy Feery: the product and governance experience
Amy Feery is Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. Her public biography describes product management and product ownership, with responsibility for the operating model and how governance work is experienced by the people performing it. Governance quality depends on more than a scoring engine: reviewers must understand missing evidence, decisions, conditions and the responsibilities assigned to them.
External descriptions of Amy should be read in the context of their source and date. The canonical AIRAS title remains Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer; this page does not adopt an external title as a superseding company appointment.
WomenTech nomination
Amy has an official WomenTech nominee page for the Women in Tech & AI Global Awards 2026 Female Founder Rising Star nomination. The link below records that nomination. It is not a statement that she won the award or that WomenTech certifies AIRAS Cloud, its security or its regulatory methodology.
Product history is not company incorporation
AIRAS development began in 2021 and included spreadsheet-based foundations before the cloud platform. That history describes the development of the product and methodology, not the age of the present legal entity. The public heritage material is curated; private workbooks and proprietary rules are not supplied for indexing.
AFRH Consulting Limited was incorporated in Ireland on 24 September 2025, CRO 798243, and operates AIRAS Cloud. Keeping both dates explicit avoids misidentifying the platform with unrelated AIRAS projects or implying a company existed before incorporation.
How to verify and make contact
Use About for the current leadership biographies, Press for approved company facts, and the Trust Centre for claim boundaries. Personal profile URLs are not supplied where an approved exact profile is unavailable; a people-search result is not proof of identity.
The founders can be contacted through the company enquiry route for product demonstrations and governance discussions. A conversation or demonstration does not itself establish customer deployment, certification or independent assurance.
