Bio
Iain McIntosh
Chris showed total commitment to the group as CFO of the Americas, as the region grew massively to become a third of the people globally. Chris oversaw rebuilding the finance function from scratch and successfully lead the finance input into 4 completed acquisitions from due diligence (plus a JV in Puerto Rico) through to integration, while the region was also growing organically by 30-50%p.a. More than a 'safe pair of hands' Chris could be relied upon to initiate changes and improvements as well as follow through on Group wide initiatives (which included migrating the financial and HR systems to a completely new SAP platform). Chris also acted as a challenger to the business on the top Americas Executive team.

Chris Sapka is a very dedicated person who has been passionate about his role within HCL Axon. He is a strategic thinker who quickly understands all financial matters and assesses situations fairly by considering all influencing factors (and not just raw numbers). I realized this when working with Chris during several employee benefit decision-making sessions. He has a talent for comprehending the intangible numbers and their importance to overall cost. His intelligence and friendly personality make him a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him.

We are bringing the Club Pilates phenomena to the East Coast! The first CP studio in the northeast will be opening in Wyckoff, NJ at Cedar Hill Shopping Center beginning of June 2016. Check out our facebook page at www.facebook.com/clubpilateswyckoff and call/email us at (201) 447-2500 / wyckoff@clubpilates.com for information regarding pricing and class schedules. We are differentiating ourselves from the typical Pilates studio by making Pilates affordable and inclusionary. Furthermore, our Instructors (who are ultimately the reason you'll come and keep coming to our studio) are required to have over 400 hours of Pilates teaching experience in order to earn their CP Certification - no weekend certifications here! So please check us out and get the full body workout that is taking over mainstream. DO PILATES. DO LIFE. Show less
