MEET CHRIS
Chris has a diverse educational background including a Master’s degree in Aviation Management, specializing in Human Factors; a Graduate Certificate in Business Administration; and currently admitted to a Doctorate of Business Leadership.
He has always been attracted to high-risk occupations: from commanding a small team of armored fighting vehicles as a junior army officer, to training hundreds of aspiring fighter pilots, to flying low-level formation aerobatics at air shows. However, always an advocate for safety, Chris developed an enduring fascination with the balance between risk and safety. He found a deep interest in the Human Factors of safety, culture, leadership and coaching and how they shape the risk competence of organizations.
