  • Having known and worked alongside Chrissie for over a decade, I’ve come to appreciate the extraordinary way she manages to combine opposites: being a visionary, yet eminently practical; having dogged determination to complete a task, but exercising a gentle touch with those she works alongside; leading from the front, but not seeking the spotlight; hugely respected by high flyers, but dealing equal handedly with all people; having a genuine passion for fashion, but not being defined by it … who’d not want to work with Chrissie!

  • I have been lucky to have been on the receiving end of Christina’s wisdom which has helped guide and shape the start-up business I lead, Recognised. Her genius lies in her ability to cut through the noise and see the big picture whilst also remaining in the details. She has a gift of communicating vision and bringing to life the things yet unseen. She dares to be bold, both with her own dreams but with others too.
