About

Chris left his career as a chef in 2009 after 5 years in the industry which began at the start of 2004 for a completely different environment and industry. Chris made the move and entered the corporate world.

This is where he has continued to build a different career, consulting in sales, account management, and business development for some of the largest brands in Australia such as AGL, Powerdirect, Energy Watch, Sensis Yellow Pages Online, Melbourne IT, Choice Energy, 23 Digital, Discover Energy, and The Energy Alliance.

Starting his consultative career in the energy sector at AGL in the Powerdirect office based in Burwood East, Chris moved from AGL to the then famous (or infamous) Energy Broker firm Energy Watch in the business team, quickly becoming number one in business sales and being promoted to Business Development Manager and Corporate Portfolio Manager.

With this newly found passion for business, Chris decided to pivot and focus his energy by working closely with Sensis Yellow Pages Online and Melbourne IT, where he helped clients with digital marketing solutions to expand their businesses online.

Chris has also worked for very small niche start ups, such as micro companies Choice Energy in Richmond, 23 Digital in St Kilda, and Discover Energy in Melbourne. This is where it shows that Chris has developed a passion for Entrepreneurship and Business over the past 14 years.

Chris is an expert in energy, software, and the digital marketing industries. Chris strongly believes the importance of business strategy and growth, along with his passion to help small and medium business owners, large enterprises, CEO's, and Managing Directors to become bigger both online and to increase annual revenue and turnover. With second to none experience working with multi million and billion dollar companies around Australia and the world, with international sales experience with Melbourne IT selling to the US market.
