Meet the Experts

Chris joined sixsense as an intern after completing his Master’s degree in Biotechnology at McGill University. Before this, he attended the University of Waterloo, where he got his HBSc in Microbiology. Throughout his studies, Chris had the opportunity to work as a co-op student at various Life Sciences organizations like Sanofi Pasteur and academic labs.

When he wasn’t performing experiments for his graduate degree, Chris focused on growing his business acumen by enrolling in MBA and Law School courses. He also participated in case competitions and workshops through various academic consulting organizations. By the end of his Master’s experience, he had been included in multiple Scientific Publications looking at novel vaccine candidates, written his Thesis in Microbiology/Immunology, and completed a specialization in Business & Policy.

Chris has grown to become a Senior Leadership Team member at Sixsense Strategy Group where he leads various strategic and medical clients and projects, while helping the organization grow.

When he isn’t helping develop strategy for his clients, Chris can be found enjoying nature, hiking somewhere in the forest. That, or watching Football (European, not American).
