Chris’s Leadership Has Been Shaped by His International Travel & Experiences
Chris has traveled extensively in Europe, Asia, and North America to launch new greenfield operations, establish safety-critical supplier networks, and manage large, complex product and infrastructure projects.
Some of his most memorable experiences were in China and India, where he lived and worked for extended periods to launch new operations facilities and introduce new highly regulated safety-critical products.
When asked why these experiences were so memorable, Chris reflects less on the successful project outcomes and more on the leadership learnings he gained along the way.
“As a visitor, you are forced to acknowledge that your ways of working and myopic cultural experiences to that point aren’t the only ways. You quickly appreciate the power and advantage of bringing diverse experiences and ways of working together as a dynamic team. Inclusiveness and mutual respect become the superpowers that propel high-performing teams to amazing achievements.”
