Chris hails from down under Sydney, Australia, where he has spent most of his career in various areas of government. Starting his career at the Reserve Bank of Australia, Chris cut his teeth examining the inner workings of Australia’s financial system. This was followed by a stint at Australia’s corporate regulator, before ending up in financial sector policy at the federal Department of the Treasury. More recently, Chris moved into climate change policy where he was proving economic advice relating to Australia’s transition to net zero. Chris graduated with a degree in economics and an LLB from the University of New South Wales, before completing his postgraduate legal qualifications from the Australian National University. This summer, Christopher returned to Australia to intern at the Office of the Hon. Dr. Andrew Leigh MP, Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities, Treasury and Employment. When not working or sleeping, Chris loves a cheeky pint or a full-bodied red, checking out contemporary art or theatre, or barracking for the Sydney Swans in Australian Rules Football.
