Chris Spence is a writer and environmentalist. Raised on the doorstep of the breathtaking Yorkshire dales in England, Chris moved as a teenager to New Zealand. Starting his professional career as a political speechwriter and journalist in Wellington, he spent the next two decades in senior roles in London, New York, and San Francisco, working for organizations committed to conservation, the environment, and human health (for more, see https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-spence-42196b10/)).

In 2018, Chris stepped back from full-time work to lean into fatherhood, and he now juggles consulting with the demands of making school lunches and checking the kids have completed their homework!

An award-winning writer, Chris has authored or co-authored several books. He holds postgraduate qualifications from Victoria University (New Zealand) and Georgetown University (USA). He recently moved to Dublin, where he lives with his wife Nicole, his three energetic children, and an ageing-but-feisty Yorkshire terrier named Bingley.
