Chris started his career as a British Telecom engineer. After five years he was persuaded to use his phone fixing skills as a planner at Young and Rubicam Europe.
Chris, never a strong linguist, then set about exploring Europe. Working in Germany for Young & Rubicam, Lowe & Partners and finally Saatchi & Saatchi.
The atmosphere (and pubs) drew Chris, and his future wife Ella, back to London where he worked as the European Planning Director on the Mars confectionary business.
After three years in London the mountains, jungles and peoples of the world seduced Chris and Ella to quit work and travel the world in search of a greater meaning.
In June 2005 Chris was appointed Chief Strategy Officer of Lowe Worldwide.
