About Chris Hackett
Hello, I'm Chris! As a business leader with over 12 years of experience, I thrive on leveraging my commercial acumen and strategic insight to drive growth in a variety of sectors. From logistics and operations management to e-commerce strategy, I've thrived in roles that span a large number of teams, all the while quenching my innate curiosity about how businesses work and grow.Throughout my career, I have been driven by my belief in the power of profit-seeking businesses to bring about positive change. My time at Pact Coffee and Second Nature, both mission-driven organizations, deeply resonated with this conviction from working directly with small-scale coffee farmers around the world to improve their standards of life to tackling the type 2 diabetes and obesity epidemic.My accomplishments include leading Pact Coffee to profitability, spearheading growth in both DTC and B2B at Second Nature and pivoting the business strategy towards sustainable growth as well as launching several successful e-commerce businesses from scratch for Jungle Creations. Each success was a result of my data-driven approach, strategic mindset, and ability to optimize CLTV metrics and lead teams.Outside the world of business, you'll often find me exploring the outdoors with my family and loyal canine companion, Rolo, or delving into the latest science and biology research. My fascination with how things work extends beyond my professional life and keeps me perpetually learning.I'm thrilled to continue applying my expertise and passion to drive meaningful results, fostering a culture of innovation and learning in the process. I'm always keen to connect with like-minded professionals, so feel free to reach out!
