Speaker: Chris Neary

Before his short career in international drug trafficking terminated with a 10 month stint in an American federal prison, Chris Neary was a convincing figure in the advertising world in the UK and Canada. Chris cut his teeth in London at Omnicom owned AGENCY.COM where he trained as a Creative Director on brands like Intel, FOX TV, British Airways, Colgate, and Compaq.

Chris was later headhunted to Vancouver by TELUS to be a Marketing Strategist in their digital division. Chris managed key accounts including the Canucks, GlaxoSmithKline, Tourism Vancouver, BC lotteries, BC Government and Best Buy. Chris subsequently became the youngest person in TELUS’s history to hold a Directorship when he became their Director of Marketing Communications.

Chris loves adventure and enjoys storytelling; last year he trekked across India and Nepal and hiked to the base camp of Mt Everest. Chris has travelled the world and got himself into volatile predicaments on most continents by being an impulsive risk taker. He is happiest in crisis.

Chris studied Design and Contemporary Art at graduate level. He plays the guitar badly and is worse at singing.
