Chris Parry

Chris Parry is a board advisor, non-executive director and executive coach with more than 30 years’ experience building, growing, acquiring and selling businesses.

An entrepreneur and business leader, Chris has founded, scaled and exited her own consultancy business and has helped other business owners do the same. She has worked with organisations ranging from start-ups to established SMEs, on growth, acquisitions, succession planning and ownership transition. This gives her first-hand understanding of the opportunities, challenges and decisions faced by founders, boards and leadership teams.

Chris believes the future belongs to organisations that combine the innovation and pace of the AI age with ownership models that share success more widely. As an independent trustee, she helps employee-owned businesses remain commercially ambitious, technologically progressive and built to last, ensuring the people who create value can share in it.
