Chris Kane
Thought Leader & Creative Transformer of Business Premises and Performance
Chris Kane masterminded the BBC’s relocation strategy, culminating in creating Media City UK in Salford; restructuring BBC Broadcasting House in London; transforming the BBC’s property portfolio; along with his prior experience as VP Corporate Real Estate at Walt Disney.
“He is a respected Spokesman and Thought-Leader”
With exceptional experience at the cutting edge of commercial real estate development in the public and private sectors, Chris has rewritten the model for redevelopment, incorporating the consumer’s perspective. The BBC’s commercial property function was transformed from an economic basket case to a shining example of how to unlock value, reduce costs and develop a physical environment that nurtures talent. More of a magician than a mechanic, his innovative approach to developing high value, large-scale commercial property projects has resulted in unprecedented results, creating space for people to be more productive.

As a passionate visionary and futurist, Chris identifies new trends to advance the evolution of the workplace which is increasingly recognised for its ability to add value to the organisation. His big-picture vision, and courage to take calculated risks, inspires business leaders to step outside their comfort zones to adopt innovative, smart approaches, which transform the work experience for today’s and tomorrow’s generation.

Naturally engaging, he uses candour and humour to inspire his audience. His warm Irish lilt makes him especially easy to listen to. [/expand]
