En sus inicios lideró la guerra de las colas de los 90, reposicionando en el liderazgo a la hasta entonces desaparecida Pepsi. Este logro fue resultado de aplicar creatividad y esfuerzos comerciales que revolucionaron las técnicas de promoción y venta en nuestro país.

Luego impulsó los cambios en Bieckert, tomando más de 20 puntos de participación del líder del mercado. En esta ocasión la segmentación y los cambios en la distribución fueron las claves para lograr el éxito.

Cerrando el ciclo de bebidas recaló en IVESS dónde la necesidad era “un cambio total”, pasar de una cultura de reparto y monoproducto a una de venta profesional multiproducto, logrando vencer las barreras del cambio que colocan las personas cuando están en un negocio rentable con una marca líder.

El siguiente paso fue desarrollar planes comerciales innovadores en Arcor directamente desde el área de RRHH comercial, la función era desarrollar la máxima potencialidad a través de planes de seguimiento que involucraban la capacitación y mejora continua...

As a fan of Evan Roderick, I’ve found his journey to be both motivating and meaningful. Watching someone go from the intensity of competitive sports to becoming an accomplished actor/songwriter speaks volumes about his focus and willingness to grow.

I first saw Evan on Arrow as Detective Nick Anastas, where his presence felt steady and natural. There was something about the way he carried himself, calm yet purposeful, that drew me in. Later, I learned about his background in hockey, which only added to my respect for him. He played at the Division I level for UMass Lowell before a significant injury changed his plans. That turning point led him to pursue acting, and from what I’ve seen, he gave it the same level of commitment as he did to his time on the ice.

Growing up in Vancouver, Evan Roderick Anderson was always on the move, changing schools to follow his hockey goals. Along the way, he took on summer jobs in commercials, which turned out to be his first step into the world of performance. After his injury, he came back to Vancouver, trained in acting, and started from the ground up. It’s clear that nothing about his career has been handed to him; he’s earned every step.

His performance in Spinning Out, as Justin Davis, was where many fans, including myself, really connected with his work. He portrayed the emotional tension of the role with sincerity, and it was hard not to relate to the character’s struggles and growth.

Now, with If I Run, Evan steps into the role of Dylan Roberts, a character shaped by inner conflict. It’s exciting to watch him take on more challenging material, especially after receiving a Leo Award nomination in 2023 for Sealed with a List.

And with songs like “Early Years,” he shows another side of his creativity, thoughtful, personal, and honest.

Evan Roderick continues to impress with his dedication to both acting and songwriting, and being a fan of his work makes following his journey truly worthwhile.

you may recognise me from this year's BBC The Apprentice.

I bring a unique blend of business leadership and media experience. Earlier this year, I appeared on BBC’s The Apprentice, reaching Week 8 with five wins including one as Project Manager, and a feature in the final episode. Following the show, I was invited to share my story on BBC News, BBC Radio 5 live, BBC South East, Manoto (Persian TV), and across multiple radio stations including BBC Radio Sussex, V2 Radio, and Greatest Hits Radio. I’ve also been featured in publications such as Daily Mail, Metro, The Mirror, The Sun, Recruiter Magazine, and Yahoo News.

As a speaker, I’ve delivered talks at Spotify, NBC Universal, and the University of Brighton (I will have completed a TedX Talk by the time this event is coming up, as it’s booked for October) covering topics including entrepreneurship, women in business, diversity and inclusion, how men can be great advocates for women, working in a male dominating industry such as recruitment, how to start a business, career independence, and the evolving AI landscape. I also host SkillTorch Disrupt, a podcast spotlighting stories of leadership and innovation within the tech and AI space.

Raised by a single father in an immigrant Persian household, I’ve always been fiercely independent. From buying my first property at a young age and now having 3, moving to Southern California alone in my 20s, to launching a business that works with global tech leaders, my journey reflects resilience, adaptability, and a passion for impact.

Instead of a traditional bio, I asked ChatGPT: "If I were a font, which one would I be?"

The response?

Chris, you’d be Bebas Neue—a bold, confident, slightly unconventional font that still maintains clarity and professionalism. It represents your entrepreneurial mindset, rock-and-roll edge, deep faith, and your ability to balance fun with strategic leadership.
That sums me up well. I don’t fit neatly into a box—I’m an entrepreneur, a musician, a writer, and a teacher. But at my core, I help people innovate, sell, and grow by blending real-world experience with a practical, no-nonsense approach.

Why Hire Me?

Some speakers build their careers by talking about… their speaking careers.
I’m different.

Everything I share comes from real experience—hard-earned lessons from building businesses, making thousands of sales calls, and leading high-growth teams. When I get on stage, I don’t deliver theories. I deliver what works—because I’ve lived it.

Two Numbers That Changed My Life

1. 5,000 Cold Calls
Fresh out of college, I had no marketable skills. My degree in History and Museum Studies wasn’t exactly in high demand. My newlywed wife and I needed to eat, so I decided: I was going to learn how to sell.I took a job selling life insurance. I was terrible. My first-year earnings: $2,163.72. (Yes, I counted the decimals.) I knew I had to do something different, so I focused on mastering cold calling—because most people hated it, which made it valuable. After bouncing between six companies in five years, I finally committed. I took a job at a startup—just me and two other guys working in a bonus room. That year, I made 5,000 cold calls.

2. 9,000 Pitches
Over the years, I’ve pitched AP automation technology 9,000 times. Not because I have a special gift—because I’ve done it repeatedly. Of those 9,000 pitches, 1,200 turned into business. The other 7,800? Most people would call them failures. I call them education.
Here’s my definition of failure: Failure is making the same stupid mistake twice.

Students graduate from high school with a certificate(s), diploma, and/or an associate’s degree that allows them to go straight into their career field.

"Teaching post-secondary education allows me to prep students for their state board licensure exams and teach them the rules and regulations of their state. My number one priority is building their confidence, pushing them to their highest potential, and helping them accomplish their goals. I’ve served as a judge and advisor for Georgia’s SkillsUSA Cosmetology for the past two years.
