Bio
David Oldridge
Chris and I worked together over a 4 year period while he was with DKSH in Thailand as VP for the Supply Chain group, Centre of Excellence. He has strong project leadership skills and the ability to navigate the complex internal structures of a matrix organisation. Chris's key attributes are his ability to successfully deliver complex and challenging projects, especially with multiple stakeholders and interests. A solid team player able to drive competitive commercial deals with external parties that deliver the best quality result at the optimum cost would make Chris an excellent contributor to any senior leadership team.

I have worked with Chris at both CEVA and DKSH. This has given me a unique opportunity to engage with Chris across a multitude of circumstances. The constant in Chris is his passion to pursue business opportunities and his creativity in solving business challenges. Chris brings together a strong IT and logistics background where he is able to solve issues in a pragmatic and cost effective way. Chris has a strong customer experience focus and he has been able to incorporate this to lead his team and the business under his control to deliver continuous improvement and simultaneously improve profitability.
