I started my career working in in-house strategy roles for NatWest Group and BBC Worldwide and have always made the creation of ambitious strategies the centrepiece of my leadership roles in media. I have driven significant digital transformation across a wide range of famous media brands, underpinned by the articulation of clear, comprehensive and stretching strategies. Getting team buy-in to these strategies has always been central to successful delivery.

- Internal and market analysis
- Creation of vision, values, purpose, goals etc
- Identification of strategic initiatives
- Organisational design
- Digital transformation
- Team building and motivation
- Turning strategy into action
- Developing RACIs
- Budgeting support

"Chris worked with me on a project to market test a new commercial business venture for BBC Studioworks. Working with Chris has been a game-changer. He is incredibly supportive and brings a level of analytical sharpness that gave the project momentum. He can take complex, data-heavy challenges and distil them into clear, actionable insights.
His personable nature and excellent presentation skills make him a natural when engaging with potential clients, building trust and confidence from the outset. What sets him apart is his versatility—he can dive into unfamiliar territories and speak with authority, adapting seamlessly to new challenges.
Beyond his professional expertise, Chris has been a valuable mentor, offering not only guidance on this project but also coaching to me personally. I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a consultant who delivers exceptional results while being a genuine pleasure to work with"
