We are operating with a backdrop of anxiety, stress and uncertainty. In order to navigate the future with confidence, we need to first face this reality. Chris will offer a set of guiding principles to address the leadership challenges we increasingly encounter.
Before he took over the reins at Clearleft, Chris had amassed decades of leadership experience. Chris was a serial CEO, first at TMW Unlimited, then at MRM.
Chris got his start at the famous advertising agency JWT where he began looking after clients and helping brands to grow. From there, he went on to become one of the founders of marketing agency HHP&B (Holder Henry Pearce and Bailey). After half a decade there, Chris co-founded the digital agency Blowfish. This was the late nineties, a time of banner ads and Flash intros.
Now Chris is helping to shape Clearleft’s vision for at least the next decade. As well as that, Chris is adept at plotting a path of growth for clients. He makes sure that they get just the right people on their projects.
