An award-winning strategic design & innovation leader

  • Originally trained as an Industrial Designer, Chris has spent 25+ years migrating from the tactical to the strategic: from making things, to figuring out what's worth making in the first place.

  • Having lived in San Francisco, London, and Munich, and now based in Copenhagen, he has built his expertise across both sides of the table, leading innovation from within enterprise teams and as a consultant working with some of the world's most recognised brands across automotive and mobility, healthcare, consumer electronics, and industrial automation.

  • What sets Chris apart is his ability to thrive in ambiguity. He is at his best in the messy, high-stakes early stages of product development distilling complex challenges into clear opportunities through rigorous research, discovery, validation, and execution. He brings deep expertise in applying strategic Design Thinking to lead, mentor, and coach teams through complex innovation challenges.

  • Chris has a natural talent for bringing out the best in the people around him, building multi-disciplinary teams with the kind of motivation, engagement, and shared energy that makes great work possible.

  • “An exceptional and insightful collaborator from start to finish. Chris is highly methodical and data driven. He consistently grounded design and strategic decisions in validated hypotheses”
