The greatest barrier to success for any new company looking to grow outside of their native country is where to start and who to talk to.
Having held positions as Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President in Sales & Commercial, Chris is now leveraging his 30 years experience and knowledge to connect people and businesses globally.
