Dr Chris Needham-Bennett

Founder & Managing Director , Needhams 1834

Chris has worked in resilience for the last 30 years. During this time, he has worked with a wide variety of companies and government bodies all over the world ranging from major banks, mining companies to furniture makers and the human genome project. He recently authored the Resilience Maturity Model for the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.

The focus of his interests are crisis management exercises and training, usually at the strategic level and writing articles on resilience and risk for the trade press. He is also a visiting professor at University College London where he undertakes lectures and supervision of master’s level students.

Outside of work his passion is skiing, and he has taught in Alpbach Ski School, Austria, for more years than he cares to recall and he still struggles with German grammar.
