Leading Transformation with Data Insights and Social Impact
I am an experienced growth hacker, change management leader, and academic entrepreneur with a reputation for combining data-driven insights with proven business principles. My success is a direct result of my ability to properly define the problem and develop a narrative from the related data. I have over two decades of experience in change management, communication, and learning, with a focus on performance evaluation and management. I’ve been sharing what I’ve learned with classes full of students and rooms full of executives for almost as long. I am passionate about social impact, having facilitated hundreds of sustainable projects, with a focus on helping Canada’s vulnerable populations.

Elisha W –
Chris is a dynamic, driven employee. His innate enthusiasm fuels his constant can-do attitude and enviable work ethic. He is a model of corporate leadership, always willing to help colleagues analyze problems and assess opportunities. And clients like him. I suspect that’s because Chris thoroughly prepares for each meeting, making certain to understand the needs and wants of clients. His real strength is strategy and implementation design. Nothing excites Chris more than identifying solutions to complicated puzzles. He is a rational thinker who is capable and willing to step outside the box when the problem demands it.
