He has amassed over 18 years’ in the recruitment industry and is hugely passionate about helping organisations to grow their businesses by securing the right talent.

He has an extensive network and track of record of placing C-suite level professionals across the finance and technology sectors.
Born in the United Kingdom and holding a Master’s degree in Engineering and French from the University of Nottingham, Chris has lived in Asia for the past 19 years. Prior to working with Ambition, Chris started his career in the technology field in London with management consultancy firm Accenture. He then worked with a charitable organisation in the education sector before moving into the recruitment field where he spent 10 years with a leading global recruitment firm in a variety of leadership roles before joining Ambition in 2015.
Outside of Ambition
Outside of work, Chris is passionate about sports, keeping fit (or at least trying to), travelling, and Liverpool Football Club! On weekends, he would like to be spotted wakeboarding or playing golf, but it is far more likely he will be spending time chasing around his two hyperactive children!
