Chris is the ESCo Development Manager for the Pacific. He is passionate about making a positive impact and specialises in shaping sustainable energy solutions that match the needs of his clients, in what are often remote and challenging conditions. Chris’s clients vary from remote island resorts, to commercial business and national utilities which require bespoke solutions and have a broader community development edge to their activities.

Chris joined Infratec in 2018 and has spent the last decade conducting new business development activities in renewables across Africa and Europe.  In Europe, Chris was responsible for new market entry for Sungevity International, driving the company’s international growth strategy and expansion into Italy and Belgium. In Africa, Chris supported the growth of rural Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) in rural off-grid communities Uganda, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, and Burkina Faso and bringing solar energy services to remote communities for the first time.

When not pushing for impact with renewable energy, Chris is always up for a mission just for the fun of it, be it setting up a mini-golf team for the sole purpose of attending a world cup or convincing his kids cycling in the rain is fun.
