Christopher has enjoyed a 35-year career that melds creativity and initiative with contemporary business skills; a career that includes professional experience across six industry sectors and nine companies.
He has pursued challenging opportunities across the commercial, tertiary education, not-for-profit, start-ups and SME sectors.
Operating in the different sectors has given Christopher deep experience in strategic analysis and practical exposure to all management functions: that is identifying the value drivers in strategy, governance, operations and financial performance, collaboration, stakeholder engagement, marketing and business infrastructure.
A common theme is Christopher’s leadership in advancing a business’ growth potential in the digital space e.g. development/launch of a website; development of eCommerce capabilities (transacting/marketing), improved business systems and processes.
Accompanying Christopher’s executive strength is his experience as a non-executive director. This experience coupled with his MBL degree (corporate governance) enables Christopher to contribute and engage at the highest level.
He is an expert in the practice of collaboration and strategic review, and a disciple of financial data integrity and transparency.
For Christopher, the clarity of achievement is in having an aligned board re growth strategies, market positioning and operational performance; a culture of excellence based on collective aspirations; and sustainable business success built upon the foundations of talent, efficiency and effectiveness.
