In a career spanning over 30 years, he reached the very top of the tech industry.
Leaving school with no qualifications and a neurodiverse condition, he fought through every barrier he came across to achieve success, wealth and happiness.
Now retired from the tech industry he focuses on his real passion of helping others to achieve success in the face of adversity, and speaking out for change and acceptance. Christopher has been a public speaker for much of his career, confident in delivering motivational speeches to many types of audience.
He has presented to businesses on topics like delivery, quality improvement and product development. He has presented to business leaders on change management. He has presented to civic dignitaries on the importance of mentoring and junior leadership. He has even been in demand as a Master of Ceremonies for weddings and naming ceremonies.
His focus nowadays is on his passions of neurodiversity acceptance, mental health awareness, and suicide prevention. He delivers impassioned speeches around these topics that inspire audiences to make the changes that society and business needs.
Although he has witnessed a lot of change in industry and society around attitudes to neurodiversity and mental health awareness, he is still driven by the need to do more.
