Transaid CEO

 

Chris has lived and worked in Africa and the Middle East over the last 30 years. As former Head of Save the Children’s Regional Office for Southern Africa he was based in Mozambique and Zimbabwe and traveled regularly through the region. His deep knowledge and experience of Africa has had a great impact on Transaid since he joined the organisation in 2004. 

 

 

 

 

 

Chris started work in June as Office Manager. Before then he'd been working for 20 years with international NGOs in programme management and development, here in the UK and overseas. Most of his previous work has been in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and is very happy to be able to increase his understanding of African development issues within Transaid. Chris is committed to supporting the growth of stimulating and well-focussed organisations such as Transaid. He has also developed funding proposals, grants management and donor relations for international NGO programmes in the past. Outside the office, Chris plays violin with a London-based orchestra.
