Founder
With 30+ years of experience, Chris is a world class marketer turned active advisor, investor, board member, academic and author. His corporate career spanned 23 years working for global FMCG blue chips like P&G, The Coca-Cola Company, and Anheuser-Busch InBev (CMO 07-12), as we as serving the marketing industry in other ways (eg board and president of WFA 08-13). End 2012 he created his own NYC based marketing capability and strategy consultancy (www.vicomte.com), and also joined NYU Stern as adjunct faculty. Chris is a multilingual Belgian American and holds a TRIUM Global EMBA from NYU Stern/LSE/HEC. Always pioneering, with skin in the game, Chris was among the first senior CPG leaders to play an active role in the fast growing global cannabis business, and will likely become the first CMO in space (via Virgin Galactic).
Award-winning filmmaker and Writer
Oobah Butler is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and speaker. In 2018 alone, he made three films that were viral sensations, tallying up almost 160m views to-date. His debut book 'How To Bullsh*t Your Way To Number 1' recently became a #1 best-seller on USA Today after its April 23rd 2019 release. Alongside the TV, radio and magazine interviews worldwide on NPR, Canal Plus, Politiken and more supporting the book, he has recently been interviewed in the New Yorker and endorsed by individuals such as Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry, WIRED Editor Nicholas Thompson and scores of other world-renowned journalists. For the most part, his work uses comedy and absurdity to comment on the modern era. For example, after releasing his recent stunning film and article in which he made the shed he lives in TripAdvisor's top-rated restaurant in London, Oobah dominated headlines globally in the climate of ‘fake news’, being interviewed on television stations all over the world. Singaporean parliament used his work as an example to inform new laws on fake news; The Washington Post penned a feature about his work. The likes of The Guardian and The New Yorker referenced it as a critique of online reviewing culture, while it was endorsed by the likes of NOMA chef René Redzepi and Observer food critic Jay Rayner. In short, Oobah's work inspires mass conversation because it is smart, divisive and devilishly entertaining. Over the past 18 months, he's received four awards for his work; Webbys 2019 award for ‘Video: Weird’; Content Creator of the Year at the Online Media Awards, Video Project of the Year at the British Media Awards and Best Content Idea - Digital 2018 at the British Society of Magazine Editors Talent Awards. Whether it’s swindling his way as a fake jeans designer, Georgio Peviani, to the top of Paris Fashion Week or letting his Instagram followers vote on every decision he made for a day and thusly ending up 250 miles from his home, his ambition is to explore different worlds in an interesting, contemporary way.

Motivational Speaker
Claire Lomas was working as a Chiropractor and had reached the highest level in the sport of eventing when a freak riding accident left her paralysed from the chest down.
In 2012 Claire became headline news worldwide. She walked the 32nd Virgin London Marathon in a pioneering robotic suit. It took a gruelling 17 days and raised £210k for Spinal Research. She became the first owner of a robotic suit and used it when she had the honour of lighting the Paralympic cauldron in Trafalgar Square.
In 2013 Claire completed a 400mile hand cycle around parts of England, visiting schools and inspiring pupils on the way, she raised another £85k for the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation. Claire is constantly thinking of ways to raise money and strongly believes there will soon be a cure.
During 2014 and 2015 Claire organised a number of fundraising events and took the total raised to over £500k. In 2016 Claire completed the London Vitality 10k in 12 hours, and completed the Great North Run in September, whilst 16 weeks pregnant.
Claire is currently learning to ride a motorbike and loves pushing the boundaries. In July 2017 she became the first paralysed female in the UK to get her motorbike race licence, and now aims to ride tracks around Europe. In October Claire takes on another huge fundraising challenge- to complete the Great South Run (10 miles) in 24 hours.
