Chris has 30 years of business experience, having held Director marketing positions with Mars and Pillsbury UK. Combining his love and of sport with his business experience lead Chris to start up Prince Sports Goods in the UK. This business he ran for 10 years before selling to Benetton.
Since 1995 Chris has undertaken consultancy and interim management projects across most parts of business. At the core of this work lies his relationship with Vistage the world's premier organisation dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and enhancing the quality of life of CEO's. In this role he employs a wide range of facilitating, mentoring and coaching skills, first instilled in him through a number of years working with The Samaritans and in Youth Courts.
Chris combines a blue chip business background with both an understanding and knowledge of mentoring practices and principles and an empathic approach to people. This, he holds, is born from the hard won understanding that businesses prosper only when they recognise the importance people play in developing their business - and act accordingly.
