Bio
Zumar Ahmed MBCS CITP
Christopher is delivery focussed, analytical and has comprehensive insight into operational processes and procedures. His commitment to maintaining excellence and adherence to policy and governance made him an asset to the programme and a valued SME. The programme owes much to his detailed knowledge and willingness to engage with and provide support over and above what was needed.
David Carter
Chris is an extremely competent and diligent individual who, over the last 18 months, has led increasingly complex projects to drive business performance against a backdrop of challenging commercial targets. With good humour, an ability to explain complex concepts in a simple way, and dedication to what he does, he's stabilised our operating systems and improved Partner relationships. More recently he led a high profile strategic review of country propositions and has really blossomed as a shrewd commercial manager. I would recommend him unconditionally.
