About Me
I'm an award-winning entrepreneur, an experienced coach and mentor and a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership. I've been working with CEOs and entrepreneurs for over 10 years - initially as a mentor for Virgin Startup before I moved on to working privately with clients at various stages across the full business lifecycle.
I have worked with ambitious founders, fast-growing startups, SMEs, equity-backed ventures, and the leaders of some of the largest companies. I have also been fortunate to spend time learning from some of the most incredible leaders and entrepreneurs all over the world.
In my current role as Founder and MD of CJPI, I lead our work with some of the most ambitious companies to guide them through their most critical decisions and help them build innovative and adaptive organisations.
Before CJPI, I started and built what became the largest organisation of its type in the UK, from founding the business whilst studying at university, leading through organic growth and spending the latter period as CEO under private equity ownership. I’ve personally experienced the ups and – just as importantly – the downs of business and leadership!
My experience is underpinned by globally recognised qualifications in organisational change and leadership coaching and mentoring. I have also been proud to receive recognition in various awards, including the Lloyd’s Bank Enterprise Awards and the ’42 under 42′ by the Insider... read more about Chris.

What to Expect
This solution is best for business owners, founders or CEOs looking for one-to-one support.
I have worked with business mentoring and coaching clients across various industries for periods ranging from a few months to a few years. If you are scaling, navigating challenges, want to become a better leader, or thinking of exiting - let’s chat.
The first call is free to make sure there is a good fit on both sides. After our free introductory call, if you decide to move ahead, we will have an initial kickoff session so I can understand where things stand today. This will take 1 to 2 hours and will highlight the initial priorities we will focus on.
This is followed by video sessions at a frequency and duration you decide on - starting from one call per month. During these sessions, we will work through your challenges, growth opportunities and anything you need support with. We will also work on longer-term goals and objectives.
We'll also keep in touch between sessions to deal with anything which might come up that you need some quick input on - this can also be enhanced if required to include a more intensive support package.
All of our sessions are remote, one-to-one video calls to keep things flexible and focused. Depending on the package you decide on, we will also keep in touch in between calls via WhatsApp and/or via email.
I want clients to continue because they are getting results, not because they are in a long-term contract. That's why I offer this service on a simple 30-day rolling contract, giving you control to cancel at any time.
You can find the details of our terms of service (contract) at the bottom of this page.
The first call is free. After that, a commercial relationship is important as it creates mutual commitment and accountability. However, I believe the return on investment I provide far exceeds the cost and if you don't agree, you can cancel at any time.
There's a couple of options depending on your requirements and the intensity of support you are looking for - all of these options are based on a rolling monthly contract.
To give you an idea, the most affordable option includes one 60-minute session per month with unlimited email support in between sessions, and this is currently just £750/month (plus vat).
For larger businesses or those looking for more intense support - subject to availability - I offer fortnightly sessions with the option of on-demand support which goes beyond advice on specific queries in-between calls (this is popular with larger businesses going through significant change/growth, who are exit planning, or who just want extra support in between sessions).
There's no such thing as a magic bullet and the reality is, nobody can realistically guarantee specific results, as each business and entrepreneur/CEO is different.
However, our rolling contract gives the guarantee that in the unlikely event you do not find it valuable, we can stop at any point (although nobody has ever cancelled after the first month up to now).
Additionally, our free introductory call will provide assurance that the fit is right both sides - and I would never commit to working with someone I do not feel I can help.
