Leading Entrepreneur and Activist
Chris Ward is an author, activist, cyclist and coffee geek. With an espresso and laptop to hand, the extra productivity and creativity he is able to generate by not being ‘trapped at the office’ has resulted in him not only working with some of the world’s most successful brands (BBC to Facebook), causes (Comic Relief to London 2012 legacy) & individuals (Lewis Hamilton to Desmond Tutu) but achieving it in less than 40 hours a week.
