Chris spent fifteen years in executive search working his way "up-the-ranks" from junior associate to Partner working on some 200 assignments during this time. From 1992 to 1999, he was a Partner with Ingram & Aydelotte Inc., a high end boutique positioned as alternative to the major firms. While with Ingram & Aydelotte, Chris worked at senior levels with some of America's leading companies (American Express, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Viacom, Johnson & Johnson, Citigroup etc.) as well as with a number of emerging growth companies. Chris' more recent experience is concentrated in the financial services industry and he has completed assignments for global financial services concerns in New York, Moscow, London, Jakarta and Hong Kong. His focus has historically been in the infrastructure areas: Finance (accounting, control, treasury, tax), information technology, business development, marketing and operations. His financial services clients have included "Bulge Bracket" investment banks, global money center banks, property casualty insurers, and services providers.Chris' experience in the financial services industry is balanced with significant experience in software, business services and the media/ entertainment industries. His exposure to both content providers, and services firms both before the "dot-com" bubble bust in 2001 and afterward, provides him with valuable insights and perspective to the evolving business models of the "Web 2.0" world. Chris began his career in 1984 with Bruce Raines Associates (now Raines International), focusing on financial management assignments within the financial services, consumer products and manufacturing, industries. In 1987, shortly after the stock market crash, he joined KPMG Peat Marwick as a consultant in the executive search practice. |
