The brains behind the Electroneum project is Richard Ells. Before his foray into the crypto industry, Richard Ells worked as an entrepreneurial marketeer while harboring his desire to become a coder.
He is also the owner of Retortal, a social media management platform designed for businesses in the direct selling industry, and SiteWizard, a digital agency which he co-founded and still serves as a director to date.
In late 2019, Richard Ells, as CEO of Electroneum, founded and organized the launch of AnyTask, the first freelance platform to focus on creating a digital economy for the developing countries.
Although the platform is open to freelancers from all over the world, the emphasis is placed on the unbanked in developing countries, similar to other products launched by Electroneum.
