About Chris
Based in Sydney, Chris has worked on strategy-driven transformations across multiple industries. Chris has significant experience in retail, connecting board-level strategy to discrete and enduring changes on the shop floor. In mining, Chris advises clients on how to shape their investment pipelines, comprising tens of billions in capital expenditure as the industry grows to meet the needs of an urbanizing China.
His work has also included driving change at an industry level, for example advising on the restructuring of the Australian telecommunications sector with the advent of the National Broadband Network, and assisting with a major privatization of an infrastructure provider through a large and successful IPO. Chris also recently co-authored a McKinsey Global Institute report on Australian productivity.
As part of his work with the Ten Timeless Tests of Strategy Chris has delivered Strategy Academies to hundreds of clients, exploring ways to apply the Ten Tests. He also co-leads the firm’s Business Unit Strategy service line, and spearheads the development and modernization of McKinsey's business unit strategy processes, tools and frameworks.
