Testimonials
"I am continually impressed with Chris’ dedication and sincerity to his work. I met Chris during the Biotechnology course at Monash University and have continued to discuss a number of issues with him over the years.
Time and time again, Chris displays an intuitive understanding about people and processes. This unique high-level insight makes him a very special commercialization consultant – who will truly be able to understand your goals and objectives. Chris’ passion and commitment for science, technology and biotech commercialization is clear.
He is widely read on the subject and grows his depth of knowledge through iterative autodidactic learning. Most importantly, Chris is one of the most objective, focused and trustworthy people I’ve ever met – these are important characteristics which distinguish Chris from the rest. I wish Chris well in his endeavours and look forward to collaborating with him in other projects in future."

“Chris is an intelligent, conscientious and organised individual. He is passionate about science and technology and is well read in the area. He is a deep thinker and contributes meaningful ideas to group discussions. I look forward to studying or working with Chris again in the future.”
Shama Kazmi, Student, Monash University, studied with Christopher at Monash University, July 1, 2010
"As a tutor in the Biotechnology course at Monash University I have taught Christopher in four units over four years. I found him to be a serious and highly intelligent student with ideas on a wide range of topics. His work was often thought provoking. Christopher was an active participant in class discussion and made valuable contributions. While he worked effectively in groups, Christopher often preferred to work alone. In his fourth (honours) year of the Biotechnology degree Christopher designed, developed and implemented a very good experiential program for year 12 students in the laboratory in which he was undertaking his research component of the honours program."
Dr Charlotte Brack, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, 26 February, 2010
"Chris is a polite and friendly tutor who has helped me to learn, understand and appreciate chemistry from a different perspective and help immensely with my year 12 studies."
Simon James Todd, hired Christopher as a VCE Chemistry tutor, 2006
