Chris is an accomplished executive coach who previously spent 20 years in the drug development industry. He held positions in research, manufacturing, preclinical development, alliance management, and business development within Harvard Medical School, LeukoSite, Inc., and most recently Tolerx, Inc., where he was a founding scientist and later Sr. Director of Business Development. This diverse industry experience gives Chris a deep understanding of the drug development culture, process, and challenges scientists, managers, and senior executives face as they work to bring new treatments to patients. While he enjoyed being part of this important work, his true passion lies in developing people to be their best. As a certified professional coach and the founder of Shift Coaching Group, he combines these two interests to support top researchers and executives through executive coaching and professional training.
