Bio
Chris Keeble
I have know Chris Pappas for the past 5 years since his taking over the management for the Indian Motorcycle dealership in Sydney. I have been very involved with both Victory and Indian/Polaris and have worked with Chris on many event based promotional projects. He has always been super helpful and logical with advice and knowledge of both his demographic/audience and the deeper workings of the company. Chris was always very supportive of his customers and it is clear his values were about customer service, along with representing the company at a professional yet friendly manner. I hope to work alongside Chris again if our paths cross.. he is a team player and a lateral practical thinker, a great combination for any business.
