He believes in strategic focus to align and capitalize on a business’s competitive advantages against its market opportunity, and continuously measuring progress towards achieving those strategic objectives to generate purpose. In Christian’s experience, the key to success is fostering relationships built on trust and transparency with and between management and investment teams, which enables open communication and active collaboration, and creates a positive and engaged ethos.
