A Catalytic Zero to One Startup Generalist

Having held traditional "designer", "software engineer" and "product manager" roles up to director level over my career, I am now accepting and embracing my function as a generalist that is driven to help teams get off the ground and go zero to one.

Whether an entirely new startup or new functions within existing companies, I excel at bootstrapping multi-functional teams to deliver engaging products and solutions.

Hire Me

I am a forward-thinking individual, passionate about all areas of product development. Having always had a seat somewhere between tech, product and design, I am confident taking ideas from concept through design iteration to final execution and deployment.

He not only has the ability to get things done and shipped incredibly efficiently, he does so while considering the bigger picture.

What makes me, me?

A Creative
As far as I can remember I have been compelled to create. From paper planes, to lego robots, fansites, marketplaces, game engines, music, social networks, business card editors, freelancer management platforms, visualisation platforms and autonomous cars.
I help form ideas and find the path of least resistance to execute and create.
An Empathiser
I credit a lot of my capability to have impact to a great deal of empathy. Whether calibrating communication to more efficiently develop ideas with others, to discovering products to have greatest impact on users and helping resolve conflicts between teams or individuals, the ability to reflect on a subject from the perspective of others is a critical trait.
I work with teams to deliver products users want, how they want.
Calmly Chaotic
The world is chaotic and business (especially startups) is no different. Being a generalist especially, I find there is always one too many plates to spin. However with a naturally calm and rational approach to breaking down problems I am able to weather storms and bring teams along with me without feeling like the world is on fire.
I help teams focus on what's important.

Chris is a unique talent; excelling as a developer, as a product manager and as a product designer. He brought his skills to bear for us at Five in all three areas, bringing some of these functions from zero to one, building out the processes and the team as he went.
