Where do you want to work?

HI, I'M CHRIS!

I'm a Senior National Account Manager!

I joined in 2015 and over 10 years have grown through roles in hospitals, grocery, and pharmacy. Today I lead wholesale accounts, ensuring patients can always access healthcare products they need. 

MY JOURNEY SO FAR.

 
  • Joined Danone in 2015
  • Hospital Account Manager
  • National Account Manager
  • Senior National Account Manager

IMPROVING AND PROTECTING PATIENT SAFETY

My impact is making sure patients can always get our products, from oral nutrition feeds that support recovery to rare metabolic products used by only a few people in the UK.

 

I led a cross-functional project with wholesalers to tackle imported, mislabelled stock that was causing safety risks. By ensuring patients receive genuine products, we’ve improved outcomes, reduced complaints, and strengthened our reputation.

 

It was a proud moment of delivering both patient benefit and business impact. 

A CULTURE BUILT ON RECOGNITION

Recognition makes you feel truly valued here. 

Recognition is part of our culture. With initiatives like Workstars, colleagues across teams and levels acknowledge each other’s impact.

 

It creates belonging and reminds us we’re working towards the same goals. 

LEADING OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH GROCERYAID

For five years I led Danone’s partnership with GroceryAid, a charity supporting people across the grocery industry. It was outside my core role, but the business gave me time and backing to embed it in our culture.

 

A highlight was supporting the Barcode Festival, watching it grow from a small event to a major industry fixture raising funds for colleagues in need. Taking on this responsibility showed me the value of giving back. Stepping out of your day job can deliver real purpose.

MEDICAL SALES TO COMMERCIAL LEADERSHIP

Cross-functional moves gave me the steepest growth. 

My biggest growth moment came when I moved from medical sales into commercial.

 

At first, I felt out of my depth, but with mentoring, training, and support from a high-performing team, I quickly grew the skills and confidence to succeed.

 

That experience set me on the path to leadership.
